Anchor rope for drift boat


Recommended Posts

go to calgary climbing centre and see if they have any old ropes they want to sell, that's what i did with my old boat. They have to retire ropes after a certain amount of time on the wall, but they still have more then enough life for what you need.   Way cheaper then a new rope (think i got mine for $20), plus more then adequate for what you need.

Did you end up fixing your twisting issue. That is the reason I am looking for new rope. I calls clackacraft and they recommended buying a zigco anchor pulley, which I may try

 

The Zigco is killer.  Bought one on the Missouri last fall due to heavy weed in the water, couldn't reliably raise or lower anchor (I run a double line).  Depending how your anchor bracket is set up, some swivels are hard to mount properly.  Have had zero issues with the Zigco, it works slick as hell.

If you run a double line, having the swivel on the anchor/pulley end is more ideal for moving water (looks like the previous pic was a jon boat in a lake?).  I looked at the MEC swivels, and realized that the extra connections to mate up to the pulley I had put the achor in the water enough when hauled up to be a pain in the ass.
