I will second the recommendation on the Garhauers rope clutches. I looked
into them when Practical Sailor gave them a high rating for causing less
line chafe and for best value. I have a total of 11 now.

However I have never seen any side mounts, but call and talk to their staff.
They have provided semi-custom gear for me before. the way their clutches
are assembled, they may have mounting method that I wasn't aware of.

I'm using all Garhauer clutchs and most of my running gear. I plan to add
their ridged boom vang before spring.

Their people are the best in the industry for customer service and guidance.
They don't sell through dealers, just internet web site and the major boat
shows.

If you want to get fast service, try to avoid the boat show season. It may
take you a week or so to get what you want during period.

BTW. So far they have never charged for shipping or handling, use UPS and
even authorize pickups for returns.

I hope they never change this policy.. I just wish they would increase their
line of products.. Maybe a line of winches??
