Looks good! 

I am interested in more details about that pulley system you used/designed for the kayak lift... 


I wanted one that would hold two and get high enough to be above the garage door. There are some for sell for cheap, but I didnt like them for different reasons. Durability, ability to hold two, etc.

So I made this one. I ordered the pulleys and a winch from home depot. The metal bars it rest on are chain link end posts that where actually here when I moved in. Then the steel cable came from harbor freight, 100 feet for 13 dollars. The weakest link is probably the pulley that directs the wire from ceiling down to the winch. Its rated at 420 pounds. So plenty for what its holding.

I like the design and would like to do something similar.

If you are willing to share, what type of fitting did you use to join the four leads into a single lead going to the winch?
