Through deck block

21.00 

Through deck block. SAILSetc design.

SAILSetc blocks have black plastic bodies. The sheaves are stainless steel, but not marine grade stainless steel, and have hardened rust-resistant balls. Fasteners provided are marine grade stainless steel. Other metal parts, if any, are marine grade stainless steel.

Thread the line through the unit after soaking the end 50 mm of line with thin cyanoacrylate glue and allowing it to set properly. Many lines have a treatment that prevents cyanoacrylate glues from penetrating the line and these may need cleaning with some solvent first. Once the line has hardened use a sharp cutting knife to trim off the very end to make a sharp point. Carefully push this ‘needle’ through the white seal captive in the block’s upper outlet until the end appears from the lower outlet.
