Winchmate self tailing winch conversion
- Fixed Jaw: Uses spacers for different line sizes. It comes assembled to handle
1/2 in. (13 mm) lines and you can add spacers to increase the jaw capability to 5/8 in (16 mm).
This model is recommended if you use the same sheets (size) or for singleness of purpose.
- Spring Jaw: This model adjusts to line sizes 7/16 in. 5/8 in. max (11 mm to 16 mm)
automatically. If you are using the winch for multiple purposes and will be
using different sheets/lines diameters, this model would be recommended.
