Re: Anchoring Question

Do you have an example of the dyneema soft shackle and how that is used? Does it just get tied on to the end of a snubber line?

Re: Anchoring Question

We ended up going with the Maxwell RC8-8, the height matched chain stopper, and picked up one of the wireless remotes...

Re: Anchoring Question

I already put the splice in between the line and the chain. The maxwell windlass is supposed to handle both line and chain well due to the gypsy design so I don't believe this will be a huge issue.

Re: Anchoring Question

I purchased the height matched chain stopper from Maxwell. How far from the actual windlass should you install the chain stopper? Should it be right in front of the windlass or closer to the bow...

I'm looking at getting one of those inexpensive wireless winch remotes on ebay to have wireless controls in addition to the up down remote that came with the windlass.

I'm based in Southern California and plan to cruise...

Re: Anchoring Question
