JonC Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Yes, depth x2 with chain would be good for fishing, but would still want the ability to let out x4-5 with rope for emergency etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Thinking more about going with 50m of chain, but wondering just how scary it will be hitting the free fall button with that little lot? Does anyone have this setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have this setup? It is a lot of extra weight to carry, which means more fuel burn and also causes handling issues on some boats with all that weight confined to the bow locker.

I think 35-40 kg of extra weight would be ok for me . As you can from this picture I ride bow high anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do often last two drums of fuel to the post up front when driving about, I’ve never experienced any negative results suzook12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
