I used to tie the spring line to my jib track slide car before I switched to the soft shackle on the toe rail. In summary, there are a lot of ways to tie a spring line to a boat. -- Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA On Thu, Mar 11, 2021 at 5:16 PM Tom Buscaglia via CnC-List < cnc-list@

Hi All, Similar to what is being discussed, I have had good success with using short climbing slings/strops through my toe rail. I order the 12" version and luggage tag it across about 3-4 slots in the aluminum to spread the load. I have them at the bow and at two spring locations along each side,

Dennis, Good to know the soft shackle works well--just built a few for the purpose. And good idea on the rubberized carabiner (Sirius topsides also painted). Peter McMinn _/) On Thu, Mar 11, 2021 at 10:01 AM Dennis C. via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Ric

Richard, The coated carabiner I referenced states a rated load of 650 lbs. The one I used to use was in that range. Touche's slips in both Mandeville and Pensacola are well protected from wave action (except for the occasional party barge/powerboat idiot). I'd think that was adequate if your sp

OK, moving right along with this thread. As I stated earlier, I use a soft shackle. I tried the soft shackle and a spring hook but the spring hook on the soft shackle hung down under the rub rail and scratched the topsides paint. The soft shackle isn't as easy as snapping a spring hook. So, a b

Ted,   Could you provide info on parts you used?  What material did you use as base for track?  I assume replace two of the toe rail machine screws with proper length.  Love this idea.  Bill WalkerCnC 36Pentwater, Mi. On Thursday, March 11, 2021, 06:32:04 AM EST, Dave S via CnC-List wrote:
