JonC Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Is anyone else using one? I can’t get in with the one I’ve fitted, the problem I think is that where I fish shallow water a lot the rope is pretty much anywhere but straight down. The rope coming onto it at an angle causes it to derail. This is annoying as although it wasn’t overly expensive it was a real bollock ache to fit.

240z Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I have just fitted one on my boat but yet to try it but a few of my mates have them and say they work well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I have one, and it has a stainless hoop over the last roller which keeps the rope located. Could you make one for yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I used to have one. Worked ok. best thing to do is motor up to your anchor to take your stress off the windlass. As you’re doing that steer to keep rope straight. Else you run the risk of it getting jammed in the gap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Just a thought, but where are you putting the rope - under that stainless rod, or on top of it...? JonC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 I think Andy’s plan for a hoop at the rear end is the way forward. it launched ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I actually meant a hoop over the forward roller, but I see that your version has that stainless bar that I'm assuming you put the rope underneath, so that it acts like a hoop - should stop the rope from coming off the roller when it's at an angle to the bow.

Yeah I thought you was taking the p about being under the pin at the front roller, it jumps off the second roller when the line drops sideways.

Andy135 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Ah, I'm with you now. I thought you meant it comes off the forward roller. Don't see why a hoop on the rear roller wouldn't work 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 I’ve I put a retainer on from my old roller. I’ll report back if we ever get out again Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
