Gunwale-Mount Sheaves

Our gunwale-mount sheave is a simple wheel that can be bolted to a ship’s gunwale to help direct rope up to equipment like crab pot haulers during instrument deployment from the side of a ship.

It can be used stand-alone, or outfitted with magnets for use with our EWC-6 wire counter unit to measure line deployment.  It includes a small pinch roller to help with rope retainment in the wheel groove.  Dimensions can be sized to suit site requirements.
