Description
When it comes to picking up your boat or other heavy equipment at the time of sailing or mid-sea, you need a reliable lifting and rigging partner. And it can be none other than an SS cable of high strength. 3/8 in. x 50 ft Stainless Steel Cable, you can easily rely on it. It has a 7×19 strand formation, making it an excellent combination of strength and reliability with the least maintenance.
Key Features & Benefits
- Resilient: The cable is made from 316 Type Stainless Steel, which makes it corrosion resistant as well, and it can survive harsh marine water.
- Tough and Malleable: The cable has 133 individual SS strands that are interwoven into a 7×19 strand configuration, giving it a diameter of 3/8 in. to it. This makes the cable tough and increases its load-bearing capacity and flexibility.
- Multipurpose: The cable is of 50-foot length with a metallic lustre, making it aesthetically appealing and amenable for a wide range of applications, specifically for boat and marine equipment rigging.
- Easy Installation: The cable can be easily installed using the rope thimbles and clamps.
Installation and Usage
Use a wire cutter of appropriate gauge and grind the ends after cutting the cable to avoid fraying. Wear hand gloves while uncoiling or handling steel cable to protect your hands from friction burns. Use appropriate hardware to clamp or tuck the cable. Maintain a minimum bend radius to avoid internal wire breakage and fatigue of the cable.
Maintenance
Regularly check the cable for kinks, frays, or corrosion. Rinse with fresh water and mild soap, and then wipe dry with a soft cloth. If you are using it for frequent movement or friction, ensure to apply a light coat of marine-grade lubricant to reduce wear and tear. When not in use, store the cable in a dry and enclosed space.
