• What About My Existing Winch Line?!

That is the easy part! re-tying a Brummell splice at the end of your winch line only takes a few minutes and can be done without taking your entire winch line out of your winch. However, if you need a new synthetic winch line, we can supply you with one of those as well.

• Does It Come with Hardware?

  
  

No, it does NOT come with hardware. If you need or would like to purchase new hardware to install your Yankum Groove Fairlead, we offer reasonably priced stainless steel hardware kits HERE.

• Can I use my winch line without a thimble?!

  
  

Thimbles, hard shackles, hooks and soft shackles share a common characteristic of possessing a diameter larger than that of the winch line. This feature facilitates a larger radius for the winch line "eye", or loop, to function effectively. When it comes to selecting the optimal connection for your winch line, it is recommended to prioritize soft shackles first, hard shackles second and then thimbles. It is worth noting that thimbles can potentially collapse under extreme loads. This leads to flattening, cutting and pinching, which cause line damage and potentially failure. For superior versatility and strength during winching operations, the soft shackle is the most effective connection point pound for pound.
