Does the whole length of the rope itself float? I.e., without the float attached to it?

Pretty sure it always sits on top of the water when strung out. Haven't used since last year so not positive but we had no issues with it, always easy to grab.

Yes, it does float, and it works well. I don't like two areas; 1. Zinc Clevis Slip Hook with Latches are rust easily, 2. storage strap doesn't work very well.

yes it ties just like rope with no slipping. Keep in mind once the knot is tied and pulled tight it will not be undone. Using a draw weight scale used for setting up compound bows the line broke at 88lbs no matter what knot i used. Hope this helps

Yes. There are tutorials online to show you how to shorten it -- cut the hook off and reset the hook with the tool provided. The rope tightens like a chinese finger trap --if you push back on it to loosen it, it will come out.

Yes it does: It's nothing more than about a 5 foot piece of cheap rope. I had to replace it with a stronger piece of rope so that it would not snap into two while climbing with it: Hope it helps /Rob

You might think that from the picture, but no, the rope goes through a ratcheted pulley, i.e. you pull it down to set the tension and it stays in place. It also has a safety feature that causes the pulley to slip if you set the tension too high. I highly recommend it for its comfort and ease of use (versus the type that use 30 lb bags of water to set the tension).One drawback - I'm tall (6'4") and because of how far the tension mechanism hangs down, I basically have to sit on the floor when hooking it to a door to get it to work properly.

It is the tow rope, the ball is the mid point and fixed in its position. So no... the ball won't keep the rope out of your propeller. But my 2 point cable trolley floats. I don't attach my rope to the trailer tie down eyelets directly, I attach my ropes to the trolley.

it accomplishes the same, to float. if you have a back door just with the floaty attached and one spare without it, you´ll be fine, cause if you constantly disattach the floaty, it might loose velcro grip.

I highly doubt it. The stress of pulling would likely overcome the carabiner and quite probably the rope itself. It's an ANCHOR line, not a tow line.

Hi Beverly! I threw it away after the float position broke - it just got too dangerous. Sorry I don't have an answer for you.

yes it does float. but i strongly recommend that u buy better quailty line. this does work. but better line will make this much better

No, it's permanent. I don't require a lot of length, so I have always coiled and twist-tied the extra.

It does not float. However it is not super heavy so it stays mid depth well.

Yes. But there is probably a weight limit. And the rope is made of the material that stretches so will have to adjust after use

I have not tested the metrics of how much weight the float will hold up, however depending on the density of your PVC pole it may float itself. I'd test it in a controlled environment before trusting any water rig, but you could cap the ends of the pole trapping air in the pole causing it to be more buoyant.

I don't believe so, no. I have a different one for use in the water that floats, but isn't telescopic.

The float is not removable from the backdoor once attached. However it comes with a new backdoor that can be easily exchanged with a backdoor without the float.

No. It just has a place to secure a rope. We've enjoyed it and recommend it.
