Stus-List Re: new jib sheet

Don't use a dyneema core line for jib sheets. The lack of stretch coupled with a dynamic load can rip your hardware right off the deck. Sta-set is perfectly suited for this application. Halyards on the other hand, do benefit from low stretch high tech cores. On Mon, May 27, 2024, 8:28 AM Bill Cole

I use SeaFlo for my fresh water pump and a large diaphragm bilge pump. Both are great and have withstood 3 years of full time cruising without a hiccup. If you're concerned about premature failure, buy two (one for a backup), still cheaper than mainstream brands. They are no worse than anything at

Interesting that it only blows the breaker when screwed into the (aluminum?) toe rail. Let us know if the nylon screws solve the short.
