Selecting blocks for dinghy tackle

[aybabtme]

Hey there,
I'm looking to buy pulley blocks to make a block and tackle system to lift my dinghy on its davits. I came up with a 5:1 purchase setup using 1 double block, 1 double block with a becket and a single block pulley, in 50 to 55mm range for 5/16" rope.

I was wondering if you'd recommend something else, and what brand, model and size pulley you would recommend? I want something decent that's not too pricey either. I don't know anything about selecting pulleys.

Dinghy is 132lbs (Highfield 310CL).
Outboard is 97lbs (Tohatsu 20hp 2019).

Check out Harken, Ronstan or Schaefer.

Might find some triples.

Be sure to go off of the working loads and NOT the breaking loads. All the brands listed above will show it.

Also plan that other items could be in the dinghy.

For such a light load I’d at least aim for a working load that is double or triple your listed weight.

They get heavy if the drain plugins left in.
