14-205 - C. Sherman Johnson 1/4" Pin Quick Release Lever

1/4" Pin Quick Release Lever

This Johnson Hyfield-type quick release lever is designed for both high-performance multi-hulls and monohulls, ensuring robust functionality and safety. With an impressive ultimate strength of 2,500 lbs, it includes a positive stop feature to minimize the risk of jammed fingers when opened under load. The generously sized push pad allows for easy closing of the lever even when under tension. The lever operates with a take-up of 2-1/8” to reach an over-center position and comes with a quick-release pin for reliable locking. This essential hardware for Catamaran shrouds enables crew members to efficiently right the boat after a capsize, streamlining the process compared to using another vessel or significant manual effort. Additionally, trailer-able boats up to 26 feet benefit considerably from this lever on the forestay, making mast stepping and unstepping a more straightforward task.
