outrigger pullys

[THE SHARK HUNTER]

I WOULD LIKE TO ASK A QUESTION ABOUT USING PULLYS ON THE OUTRIGGERS. THE COMPANY MARLIN USE TO MAKE LITTLE PULLYS WITH A SNAP SWIVLE FOR THE EYES ON THE OUT RIGGERS FOR USING MONO HAS ANYONE USE THEM? ANY GOOD? I WAS THINKING OF USING THEM THIS YEAR BUT I AM HAVING A HARD TIME LOCATING THEM. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHO SELL'S THEM? NOT TALKING ABOUT THE HALLOCKS


THANKS DAVE

i just installed a combination of harken and ronstan pulleys on our riggers. they run very smooth. we picked them up off a sailing website. not cheap but seem solid. PM me if you have any questions.

Not personally a fan of the malin one's, they leave a gap between the pulley and the plastic clamp, had trouble with line getting stuck in them. Taco makes a decent pulley with a larger pulley diameter which is nice, that is what I have switched to. Also, Hal-Locks are very nice, they lock easily and can be quickly disengaged to bring the line in or out but prevent line creep, eliminates the need for a clip to hold your line in place if you do experience creep. Price difference is not a whole lot when you consider the cost of everything else.
