What is the width of the rope groove? Or in other words what is the maximum size of rope that I can use in pulley?

I use a 1/4" rope and that works fine. The distance across the top of the groove is about 3/8", but I'm not sureit would handle a 3/8" rope all that well.

I used 3/8" but I am certain it will accept 1/2". These things are pretty sturdy - I was using them as force mulitpliers to pull down a tree and they did not pose any problems. My "pulley" background includes sailing tackle, and while they're not like a $100 main sheet pulley, they're pretty fn good

The easiest way is to pull the old one out and measure, if it was a similar system. If it was an old school pulley system that you're modernizing, then get some rope and lay it down along the proposed path, then measure. Maybe Teleflex has some more tips on their site

Hi Mark, I only used the rope with this unit and never used the tape. Depending on what you are using it to keep out / in, I am sure the tape works well but I don't know what distance will be lost if any.

Yes it works just fine on smooth pulleys as well as the grooved ones. I love mine! No more trying to get the belt back on in the snow or pouring rain.

I have a 9 foot ceiling and when all the way down, still have another 6 foot of rope left on the floor (approximately 15 feet from the pulley). My unit has a 4:1 mechanical advantage.

I am not sure what the diameter is but it is the same as a ski rope. I have two and both have been used for anchoring kayaks. We have tied up to six kayaks on the Gulf Of Mexico and had no problems. The rope and the anchor should be fine for kayak and small boats. You will not be able to break it by pulling on it, unless you a superhero.

I would use the nylon rope supplied , it's easyer to bend around the pulleys

No, use a puller for that purpose, these are not designed for that... The jaws are not small enough to fit behind the groove that is located on the circumference of the shaft. If you try and pull from behind the whole diameter of the pulley you will warp or break it and it will not be of any use.

I like a good nylon rope that is no less than 3/8" in diameter. Any smaller than that then the rope cuts into your hands when you hoist up the anchor. If you go too big of a rope then it won't fit through the anchor hole plus you waist you money. Good nylon rope is not cheap. I think 3/8" to 1/2" is fine for me.

I'm sorry I don't remember exactly how wide the tape is. I believe it was 1" with 1/2" snap slides. We sewed it on new drapes to fit into the existing glide track. They also sell 3/4" snap slides do measure the track before purchasing. I hope this was helpful :-)

The braided cable has a diameter of approximately 3/16". The length of the cable is difficult for me to judge (I have it installed in an attic and the cable is running through several pulleys along the rafters), but it is easily 50' and I would guess that it is closer to 60', but I am not absolutely sure. Yes, the wire could be replaced with a nylon rope, just make sure that you burn the end that is attached to the pulley (to ensure a stronger connection with the wedge used to tie the cable/rope to the winch.

The maximum length is 2 3/8" and the max bungee cord thickness that can be used is 3/8" hope this helps.....

Suggest you check the details provided by Amazon! It is all there! Floats are roughly 5" long by 2 1/2" diameter. I think there are a out 8 per 20' length of rope. Sorry to not be more exact, but I am on Michigan and my floats are in New York. I purchased three sets to mark my submerged waterline into the lake to keep neighbor grand kids operating boats away. Position of floats is easily adjustable (if necessary) and rope is good quality. Good product for reasonable price and does what I needed it to do.

I have the 4 Ton Dual Grear Puller I just went downstairs to the garage and measured mine, with it fully wound up, gets down to about 25 inches measured from the tip of the hook on one end, to tip of the hook on the other end, measured using the single or double line method.

Not sure how long rope is. It was plenty long for my 2-story home. Haven't used the kit in 5 years now.

I honestly don't recall how long the provided rope was because I replaced it with a stronger, smaller diameter rope immediately, which permitted me to use a 16 ft rope.

Take a look at this one: http://www.amazon.com/Fusion-2-Rescue-Pulley-Blue/dp/B008KECIRG Breaking strength is 34 kilonewton, or roughly 7500 pounds, and it is designed to accept up to a 5/8" rope. NOTE: It is aluminum, so it cannot be used with a steel winch cable.
