Pugwash 0 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Silly question, maybe. I'm mounting a pair of fairleads on the bow of my trailer yacht for the anchor warp to run through. These are handed. Which way round do the go? Anyone have a photo of the correct location? Tried to upload photo but can't get it to work.

OYSTR 1 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 If you place them on the rail and look down, the angle through the fairlead should match the angle of the line running through it. Not sure you will get a "directly ahead" angle with the fairleads though if they are anything like the pic below, normally they are to take mooring lines which come in at an angle, rather than the anchour line directly ahead.

Guest Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 the really effective ones have the entry angle opposing the line run, stops it from jumping out Link to post Share on other sites
