wormdunker Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 You'll never see polypropylene rope on my boat. Braided nylon only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIFTER_016 Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 All 1/2" braided nylon on my boat. Even my anchor line is braided nylon. $40 for a pair of mooring lines is cheap insurance IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But every now and then you see people use the bargain bin crap ... it never ceases to amaze me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickspence Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Great advice and the right time of the year to be thinking of it. Do you really want a claim on your boat insurance because you cheeped on rope? That can cause so many other bad things to happen, like damage. Thanks "All Knowing Angler" for the great advice.
