Schaefer Halyard Exit Plate f/Up To 3/4" Line - Flat

The Schaefer Halyard Exit Plate f/Up To 3/4" Line – Flat is a precision-engineered mast component designed for sailors and boaters who demand reliable halyard management on deck. This exit plate channels halyards cleanly away from the mast track, reducing chafe and preventing line snag during hoisting and lowering operations. Whether you're racing dinghies, cruising keelboats, or maintaining a working vessel, a properly installed exit plate is essential for smooth sail handling and extending halyard life.

Built to Schaefer Marine's exacting standards, this flat exit plate accommodates halyards up to 3/4 inch (19 mm) in diameter and features a mast slot opening of 3-1/4 inches by 1 inch (83 mm × 25 mm)—a configuration common on mid-sized and larger masts. The low-profile flat design minimizes windage and allows clean line routing without sharp bends that could damage rope or cable. Installation is straightforward: four #10 right-hand fasteners (5 mm) secure the plate flush to the mast, with the opening precisely calculated to guide rope while shedding water and preventing line twist. At just 0.2 pounds, this component adds negligible weight aloft while providing years of dependable service.

This exit plate is ideal for cruisers, racers, and commercial operators using natural or synthetic halyards up to 3/4 inch. Verify your mast slot dimensions—3-1/4" × 1" opening—before ordering to ensure proper fit. The flat configuration works seamlessly with both wire and rope halyards, and its durable marine-grade construction resists corrosion in saltwater environments. Schaefer Marine components are trusted worldwide for durability and performance, making this exit plate a worthy investment in your vessel's rigging reliability and crew safety.
