Planer pulley

[Chinook Chaser]

I am in need of spring loaded planer pulleys that can be rail mounted. Please let me know where I can find these or if there is a type that can have a spring easily attached.

if you don't have any luck finding what you need, send Tony Salerno an E Mail at Great Lakes Planers ([email protected]) or give him a call. I'm sure he can make what you're looking for. I recently ordered a RL and screwed up a base drilling holes. He sent me a new one and didn't charge me for it. I've never been treated better as a customer than I have by Tony. He makes an awesome product and stands by his work.

We used springs that we got at Lowes and brass rings. No pulleys.

G-Daddy is right. I have pulleys, springs and a heavy rope clip from Lowes. I ordered rail sockets with molded eyes for Bimini top and slid over roof rails then attach rope clip through eye.

That should say rail slides. Ones with set screws.

Does anyone know if a spring can be added to the big jon rail mounted pulley?

[G-Daddy]

I would think a quick link will work.

Why do you need a spring on the pulley? Just asking?

[G-Daddy]

We use a spring at the boat and then don't need a snubber on the tow line.

[Chinook Chaser]

Because I will be mounting the pulley on the hard top and there will be very little give it was suggested to me to use a spring

I don't use either and I have no problems. Pulling otter boats with half keels with 200# power pro.

I will be pulling otter boats with double keel

Yup and no issues here either
