Re: Stus-List Anchor roller

Although I’m not a great fan of having any more components than absolutely needed in an anchor rode, a swivel installed between the chain and anchor can ensure the anchor can rotate and more easily traverse the roller than a shackle. Locktite is a good thing to use when installing a swivel. Ric

Re: Stus-List Anchor roller

My rode is 3 strand which I spliced to the chain. I check the splice at the beginning of the season. I have to pull it over the gypsy when hauling up the anchor to prevent a jam up.  Doug MountjoysvPegasusLF38 just west of Ballard, WA. -- Original message--From: Davi

Re: Stus-List Rust stains and welding

Hi Mark, I use phosphoric acid ~ 50% and a "scotchbrite" pad to clean up rust stains. I think the principle ingredient of CLR is a dilute version of what I use so it might take more time. Scrubbing with the pad & acid defiantly speeds things up, allowing you to rinse in less time than a soak.
