attaching chain
"Sierra fisher" wrote in message ... Stupid question: Do you attach the rope to the chain and the chain to the anchor OR attach both the rope and chain to the anchor, ie, chain is not attached to rope? Not a stupid question at all. Attach the chain to the anchor, the rope to the chain. Bingo, now you're in business. -- Steve @ OutdoorFrontiers http://www.outdoorfrontiers.com G & S Guide Service and Custom Rods http://www.herefishyfishy.com

It's absolutely amazing how fast wave action can back out a shackle pin if its not secured in some way. Don't ask me how I know this...

And before you stretch out for a snooze ... connect the rope to the boat.

Good point. We might add that Bowgus means to attach the bitter end, not
just "the rope," which will also of course be cleated or otherwise secured somewhere along its length. ==== Charles T.

If you are using a reel to hold the rope tie the bitter end to the reel and run the rope through a pat eye then to the anchor.
Besure to put a figgure eight knot in the lin so that when you play out all the anchor line the stain is on the pat eye and not your plasitc hose reel (put the knot between the reel and the pat eye allowing enough slack so you don't break your reel). Now annd a cleat to tie the anchor line off to when not using the full length of line. Doc ================================================== ================== "Charles T. Low" wrote in message ...
