Ahh, BOATING...trailer and deal w/trailering...slip and deal w/ sea varmits ::) ... $hit or go blind :P ... ain't it WONDERFUL!! ;D ...


Ya gonna replace RR rope?....I's thinkin' instead od doin' whole thing maybe you could cut away ends equal distance on transom; put center-piece back in and cover splices some creative way ... LOTS easier than replacing all :D ...

Nylon stretches!! You must have been pulling on it pretty tight to get it stiff enough to get in the grove. Then after it relxed and the heat of the days it pulled it selfn back toghter.

When I did mine, I twisted the rope while installing rather than stretching. The theory being it may even grow as it unspun. No gaps in mine after 2 years.

The ends of my rope insert have heatshrink on them and are secured with an SS screw / finish washer.

THAT.....IS A GOOD IDEA ;)

Sometime life is so simple we forget the obvious. The REAL reason mine has not moved in 2 years is that it too is screwed in on the ends and therefore it cannot move. DUHHHH!!!!
