Easy to install, easy to use
Bought 2 of these to replace cheap worn-out halyard clutches on my 1984 Hunter 23. Installation was straightforward and quick.
Since I mostly sail single-handed, I really appreciate being able pull halyards through the clutches in their locked position. At this point, I can only assume they will continue to perform over the long haul, since I have only used them about a dozen times.

Questions
Can this be side mounted?
Having installed three of them, I can't think why it couldn't.
Installation is two bolts through the cabin top and there are no moving parts that need gravity to hold them in place.
I suspect it could even be mounted inverted.
