Our deluxe kit includes a gate at the aft lifeline
stanchion. This puts the pelican hook at the front of the cockpit making it easy to reach from the dock. When the gate is open, the forward lifeline remains tight. A modern
snapshackle inspired pelican hook is by far the easiest design to open and close. Just squeeze and it snaps shut. The long lever makes it easy to tighten the lifeline as you close the pelican hook.
We make installation simple. Each wire is complete with one end pre-swaged. You install the other end to match the dimensions of your boat.
The assembly also includes the tools needed for installation. Trim the wire to length with the stainless cable cutters Install the last end fitting on each wire. The installation tool, used before by the owners like yourself, may be returned for a refund.
This kit will work for boats that either use straight stanchions exclusively, or those that use a single gate stanchion mounted by the cockpit on each side. If your boat has TWO gate stanchions on each side, see the related product below as this kit is not designed to work with that particular layout.
