Then measure the rate several times. You will find the rate to be VERY repeatable. Certainly more precise than our "calculation" of
scope or
anchor size.
Releasing by
clutch is clearly a different matter.
Some chain gypsys are very fussy. I have tried many of the suggestions, and only
paint does not affect the feed. The
rope feed is even fussier.
Both the chain and
rope are marked with
paint (latex is harmless to rope) and I do notice the markers when they pass.
