[C320-list] Lifeline hardware specs

[Scott Thompson]

   Following up on the email below: I'm having trouble finding the exact
   part numbers that apply to my boat. However the manufacturer of the
   lifeline hardware on my 1999 boat (hull # 653) is Hayn. You can find
   their details here:

   See also various parts sold separately at:

   Finally, my recollection is that I got good customer service when I
   contacted them directly. They sold me just the parts I needed, even
   though not in their catalog. I would definitely call them to discuss
   reusing parts while replacing (for example) just the swage studs. You
   will need different swaged studs if you change the wire size, but you
   want to make sure that threaded parts are compatible with the ones you
   are reusing.

I’m out cruising with no access to boat records. But I did identify the brand us
ed on our 1999 boat a few years ago when I had to replace a spring in a Pelican
hook. I’ll try to circulate that in a few days after we are back home.

I would seek out a boat fitter who does swaging. I know that once swaged on fitt
ings cannot be re-used. The parts which are screwed on obviously can. I would al
so look at using bare cables. All the new boats are using it and it is easier to
 inspect and clean.

Hello all:

Does anyone know what the specs are for the swages on our lifelines?

My lifelines are looking past their due date, but it seems to me that the pelica
n hooks, gates, etc., are all in good shape and that I don’t need to buy the ent
ire kit from Catalina Direct.

So if I could find a way to sources swaged fittings that work with that hardware
, I would only need to buy some 7x7 wire and the swages to redo the lifelines. U
sing one piece of hardware, I did a cursory check at West Marine and couldn’t fi
nd anything that matches.

So, obviously, my next step is to ask whether anyone else has walked this path b
efore me and knows the answer.
