Ok MJ, stop playing with your Morphine drip and give me an Answer. ;D

Re: Pulpit question
 

Hammer, the oval one is bigger and I was pinched for space so I went back with the round one. Google "chain splice" and learn to tie the thing. Thats what I did and now I don't have the shackle and thimble on the anchor rode. Works great. Here's a pic for ya':

See, noo thimble, no shackle, and goes throught the deck pipe nicely. ;)

Re: Pulpit question
 

Use a smaller shackle! Worked great for me!

I want to change the pipe on my boat, CB gave it to mne and I was very happy to get it!

But the cover just sits there with a small chain, its always poping off in ruff water and then rolling around by the tiny little chain, I know that cover is going in at some point!!

I wzant a new one round or oval that has the hinge on it so I no longer have to worry!

Re: Pulpit question
 

What??...YOU worry??... ;D ;D ;D ...

Re: Pulpit question
 

Not really! ;)

Re: Pulpit question
 

Airslot, I cant tie knots. Thats why I have velcro laces on my shoes. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Re: Pulpit question

Re: Pulpit question
 

Still waiting for her to dress me, so I can go out and play. ;D

Re: Pulpit question
 

can I get one of those at Boater's World ::)

Re: Pulpit question
 

Got to get me one of those too.

Re: Pulpit question
 

hammer, if you gonna be divin, i think you'll feel better with a shackle & a thimble. probaly overkill, but its a bummer to come back to the anchor and find a wad of chain.

Re: Pulpit question
 

Hammer what you call that post cleat you have?? have been looking for one buit find nothing?

am thinking I need the real name?

Re: Pulpit question
 

Thats right Phats, gonna go with a thimble and shackle along with plenty of chain to tie off to on the wrecks.

MJ...post cleat ??? where's it at on my boaty. ???

Re: Pulpit question
 

MJ's thinking of a Sampson post, also know as a Bollard cleat. Hammer had posted a picture of one a while back.

Re: Pulpit question
 

Pipe...I'm just now catchin' up w/this thread again...re your idea for "anchor retrieval system" ... while yours is DEFINATELY the nicest one I've seen to date and could be used for SO many other purposes (the VERSATILITY is staggering!! :o ) ... my fear is the overall concept would be considered as "public knowledge" by the Patent Office ...but I'll forward your idea to my Patent Atty and get a professional opinion 8) ...

Re: Pulpit question
 

MJ was talking about this. ?? I like it, has the anchor rode hole built into it.
