I am looking for a 1/2" 8 plait rope to run through my windlass anchor. Do you know if this will work without jamming?

I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work just fine..... It's as good as any 1/2 nylon rope I've ever used... BA

The rope that comes with it is very sturdy, and the hook is well made and also sturdy, BUT I have no idea if it would work for your purpose, since that would be determined by your weight and other factors. Wish I could be more helpful, but I use it for tree trimming.

The rope that comes with it is 3/8" but I was able to fit a 1/2" rope through.

I would use a Synthetic Rope. You can get a new Synthetic Rope and a roller fairlead kit for under a $100.00,you can use the roller fairlead when your not using the plow. I used this for the first time a week ago it worked great. I like how the larger roller puts the rope closer to the plow for straight up movement. I was using a cable, with a stranded roller fairlead I would be lucky if I would get though a whole plowing job with out it braking. Hope this helps. Neal

I was trying to pull some u post with rope using the hook but the rope kept stretching. I think if you can make an attachment point on the rebar and use chain it might work.

I think so. The cable is really long. I am 5'8" but i cut a lot off, probably more than a foot, by the time I stopped. I believe one could purchase bulk cable from a good hardware selection. Maybe from Fringe sports, online? not sure You may know to check length by standing on rope with one foot and pulling both handles to armpit. I believe one of these types of ropes lists its cable length. simple tape measure to check and see if it would be okay. most of these are the same company and same length cable.

It would be sad to tape or glue a nice, natural fiber rope. And, none of them will last as long as the rope -- especially if exposed to the weather.Google "Matthew Walker knot", "Wall and crown knot" or "Manrope knot" if you can have a small knob on the end of the rope. If not, try a "Whipping knot". All will hold up better and will look better, too.

Yes it should be but also depends on where you will be using it(lake, or river). Different type of anchors work better in certain situations. Keep in mind wind can also play a factor if you are trying to anchor and stay in one spot.

Hi,Below is the description that we upload to Amazon. They combine merchant data to create a "best possible" listing, but it doesn't always work the way it should. - -Weave rope around cleat arms, no knots needed. Great for fender lines, trailer covers and utility lines. Fits line up to 1/2".

Not rope but a nylon cord that is 1/4 " that runs the full length and sticks out some. So you can thread it easier.

I am not sure what the diameter is but it is the same as a ski rope. I have two and both have been used for anchoring kayaks. We have tied up to six kayaks on the Gulf Of Mexico and had no problems. The rope and the anchor should be fine for kayak and small boats. You will not be able to break it by pulling on it, unless you a superhero.

We used a staple gun with large staples. Use several staples along the first few inches at the bottom of the pole. If the staples won't go in all the way, use a hammer to make sure they're all really tight. Just wind the rest of the rope up to the top--wind as tightly as you can! Then staple along the top few loops. We can see the staples at the top; they're not very camouflage.

I have a 15' jon boat and the 8 lb anchor worked fine for me. Of coarse if the winds exceed 30 mph then you may want to head back to shore! LOL!

Paracord is typically rated for 30% stretch (although Ithat is under some serious tension) . It will elongated over time under load (a feature to add some elasticity to a hanging paratrooper). As for the rest of the things you describe paracord won't mildew/mold and relatively weather resistant. The knots will hold but make sure you using knots that work well with slippery cord. At the very least you will want to throw an overhand knot at the running ends of your knots as stoppers. And strength shouldn't be an issue. You may want to use nylon straps as they will probably work better in this case. Paracord is typically rated for 30% stretch (although Ithat is under some serious tension) .

I used Duo Fast Brand 1 1/2" worked very well no jams, more reasonable in price than Bostich Brand, check with a fastener supply dealer in your area.

No, it is not long enough. I did however use the rope and some carbiner rings to make it work.

I don't even use a anchor. I purchased some thin rope at tractor supply...tied it around a tree...made a loop big enough for my battle rope. Spent 5 $
