Common Concerns Answered
Is the cam cleat effective with very small diameter lines?
While the cam cleat provides secure holding for its intended line range, users may find it slightly stiffer with extremely small diameter lines. Ensuring the line falls within the specified 6mm (1/4in) maximum diameter is recommended for optimal cam cleat function.
Can this block handle high load applications?
The Harken 22mm Triple Micro Block has a maximum working load of 227kg (500lb) and a breaking load of 544kg (1200lb). For applications exceeding these limits, larger, higher-load rated blocks would be more appropriate.
Will the cam cleat securely hold the line under load?
The integrated cam cleat is designed for secure line holding within the block's specifications. Its efficiency is optimized for the 6mm (1/4in) maximum line diameter, ensuring reliable performance for its intended uses on smaller vessels.
