i usually just burn the ends of the bungee with a small gas blowlamp and they melt together to keep everything neat and stop the fraying

The rope on the trolley looks quite thick Shane. Give it a good soaking it may swell as it takes up water, make sure it still flows freely.

Terry[ote] Hi terry its Liros 3 Strand white nylon rope i use it for anchor lines its lovely stuff nice and soft and easy to splice it holds no water . it is a bit heavy but i have got loads of it kicking about . i might replace it with some 6mm Dyneema Light if i can find it in the workshop . im not very tidy lol |

Fair enough Shane. Just would have hated you to find out it doen't move as you hoped just as you were trying to anchor and end up aborting a trip.  Depending on the depth and drag from tide you might find it a bit thick for kayak anchoring, most guys use stuff in the 3-5mm range. I hope I am not teaching my grandmother how to suck eggs....sorry.  Go on... tell me you already have something more suitable hiding in the workshop.  |
