Description
The Cable 5/16 GAL per foot is a reliable, marine braided, galvanized steel cable. It offers the perfect blend of strength, durability, and versatility. It is an ideal cable for use in boat lifts, dock rigging, or many other marine applications you can depend on for support at a custom length. With 7×19 construction, this wire rope ensures high tensile strength while providing great flexibility to work in extreme waterfront conditions.
Key Features
5/16-inch Galvanized Steel Cable: An industrial-grade cable at 5/16-inch diameter is a great load-carrying capacity while still being flexible enough to work in nearly all common styles of boat lift and marine rigging.
Sold by the foot for custom applications: If you are only replacing one particular line or planning an entire lift system, you can buy this cable by the foot to ensure you have the exact lengths your unit requires, without waste and no need for guesswork.
7×19 flexible wire configuration: This wire cable is engineered to be flexible when used in pulleys, drums, and winches. The flexibility allows it to be used with some play; however, it is still strong enough to lift plenty of weight.
Hot-dip galvanized coating: The hot-dip galvanizing is made of zinc, which is a coating that minimizes rusting and corrosion when used outdoors and with marine environments. It is not designed for use in salt water like stainless steel, and while it is acceptable in fresh water and limited period of salt water with regular maintenance, it is not designed for use in seawater or beyond occasional use in saltwater.
Marine-grade proven durability: The cable has been designed to withstand the rigors of daily use as a boat lift system, dock hardware & other rigging use. The cable has an extreme resistance to abrasion, UV, and humidity.
More Information
Installation and use: The cable is easy to cut to your specification in seconds. It can be used with thimbles, cable clamps, or crimp sleeves. It is compatible with most common boat lift pulley designs, drive units, and winding configurations.
Care and maintenance: To help the cable last, rinse with fresh water after use, especially when used in saltwater or brackish conditions. Store in a dry location when not in use, and inspect regularly for signs of wear, fraying, or corrosion.
