Folbe PC03-3in Cable Pulley Block | Marine-Grade Nylon & Oilite Bushings | 400 lbs SWL

When you need dependable line management on a boat, the Folbe PC03-3in cable pulley block rises to the challenge of the sea. The 3-inch pulley handles cables or lines up to 3/8in, fitting tight spaces like compact transoms or crowded anchor lockers. The housing is molded from marine-grade fiber-reinforced nylon, a material chosen for toughness and resistance to salt, moisture, and impact.

Inside, a self-lubricating Oilite bushing system creates a low-friction surface that reduces wear and maintenance needs. The result is smoother line routing and fewer hangups during gear adjustments. The V-Groove design keeps the line centered as it moves, helping to prevent misalignment and chatter during operation.

In testing, Folbe notes a capacity of 1500 lbs, though the practical Safe Working Load is 400 lbs dead weight. This distinction helps boaters plan line handling with confidence while accounting for hardware such as swivels or chains. The combination of rugged nylon and durable bushings is designed to stand up to salt spray and wet conditions.
