Description
Lifting a boat and putting it in and out of water could be a demanding job if it is to be done without a strong lifting cable or rope. 3/8 in. x 30 ft Stainless Steel Cable is the answer as a strong solution for this job. Its stainless steel strands are not only flexible but also corrosion resistant and built for long-term reliability with minimal maintenance. 7×19 strand formation of this cable is perfect and resilient for heavy lifting.
Key Features & Benefits
- Strong and Durable: Stainless Steel of 316 Type enables you to use the cable in harsh saltwater and other marine conditions. It is resistant to corrosion due to salt and weather.
- Heavy-Duty but Flexible: Robust 3/8-inch diameter made from 7×19 strand configuration means 133 individual SS wires are interlaced together to get good load-bearing capacity as well as excellent flexibility.
- Versatile Utility: A 30-foot length with a sleek, polished finish enables you to use the cable for a wide range of applications, specifically for sailboat rigging in mid-sea.
- Easy to install: Rope thimbles and clamps make your installation process easy and hassle-free.
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.
