I'm sorry that I do not know the gage. I will tell you that there is a great U-Tube out there on exactly how to install. The directions were printed very dark and very hard to see. We love out and it holding up a 12' West Marine dingy and kayak in our garage. Chirs

Its not a very thick rope and after a year its starting to fray but looking at it the rope should be easy enough to replace

Yea they will , however they pulled out of the kayak when a low branch hit it. I now use all stainless steel bolts and they are muchc stronger

Thank you for your interest in our products. For the 3/16" size, the thread length is 3 1/2" and for the 1/8" size, the length is 3 1/8". The only restriction is our warning that these fittings are not to be used for lifting or hoisting purposes, but are intended for use in architectural railing systems. Customers do use these fittings in a variety of applications and properly swaged fittings can approach the breaking strength of the wire rope, but is dependent on many factors. To be assured a cable assembly will meet a certain working load, you would need to go to a rigging company to proof test the assembly. Thanks Eric 888-686-7245

Do not know the exact guage, but they are not flimsy in the least. They don't bend...

There were 4 included in the kit I received. Enough for 1 Kayak. One tip, if you intend to leave them attached to your rack, periodically apply some lube to the thumbscrew threads or they will rust.

No markings or label on the spool. It looks like a 4 strand line.I have it on my bottom fishing rig with 6ft of 20lb fluorocarbon at the hook end.

If you need the exact shipping rate for the hanger grips, you can try to place an order to check the rate. Thanks.

There are a few diagrams in the product photos. Go back to the page where you can buy the gauge and look at the last few photos.

You have to purchase two sets. Don't use the ropes or buckle straps that comes with the set. It is better to buy a set of ratchet straps for each kayak. Have fun!

I don't see why not. You will just need to put the pulley sets closer together. They have worked out great for us. I bought 3 for my kayaks and you can use them to pretty much hoist up anything. Hope this helps.

Damn, I just checked my history. I was given 3 ropes, 3 different colors, for $3.36. Someone must have figured out that they should have only been packing one rope...

Get new straps from Home Depot. You want a ratchet type buckle that won't slip. They go around the kayak and under the rack bars. Don't forget to tie down front and back.

Best I can tell is 1 inch is about it. But like the other responder said, wrap a piece of chain around your 2 inch bar and hang the hook on that. The hoist is a good product for the money. I like mine. I use it for lifting 55 gal water barrels off the back of my truck.

Look on the guide bar. It will be stamped with the chain pitch and gage and length.

Yes, My husband just measured it and said that it will work! These are working great for us. My grandson and I can load/unload kayak with ease.
