Overview
The Daystar KU70046BK is a hawse fairlead winch isolator. It rests between your winch hook and the fairlead, giving the hook a place to sit when it is not in use and stopping it from rattling.
It is universal fit, so no specific vehicle is named. It does not interfere with winching operations, and installation is simple.
Key features
- Made for hawse fairleads
- Rests between the winch hook and the fairlead
- Reduces hook rattle while the winch is idle.
- Does not interfere with winching operations
Hawse fairlead basics
A hawse fairlead is a fixed opening that guides the cable straight onto the drum. Unlike a roller fairlead, it has no moving parts to turn, so the cable slides across a smooth edge. Because the hook hangs freely when the winch is idle, a holder that keeps it still makes the setup quieter and tidier on the trail.
When adding an isolator to a hawse setup, check that the holder does not block the opening or press against the cable path. Keep the fairlead edge clean and free of burrs, since rough spots wear the cable and can catch the hook. Inspect the holder after rough runs and replace it if it cracks or loosens.
- Check the opening stays clear of the holder
- Smooth any burrs on the fairlead edge
- Inspect the holder after rough trails
- Keep the cable path free of grit
