How to replace the cam on a RC75 Rope Clutch

As modern lines are getting stronger, many boat owners are tempted to choose a thinner line dimension on their halyards. This often results in slipping clutches, which can have a large impact on the boat’s performance, forcing many boat owners to switch to smaller clutches with a lower working load than desired. We have a solution for this.

Rutgerson’s popular RC75 clutch can easily be upgraded to work with thinner lines, thanks to a replaceble cam available as spare part, with the same high working load as the original: 750 kg.

With the new cam RC75 is optimized for lines between 4-8 mm, compared to 8-12 mm on the standard version. The video below show you step-by-step how how to replace the cam in less than 5 minutes.
