Hi All,
I have always cleaned and laid out the combination rode on the fore deck to dry before dropping into the locker. The PO suggested this, and it has prevented any odors.
Moving to a windlass with direct deposit into the locker makes me wonder if I will have issues.
My question then is, with a horizontal set-up that I prefer, is there a way to:
easily divert the rode from the line guides while still using the windlass to do the pulling;
or reverse it back out after securing the anchor;
..other?
Is there a better way if using a vertical windlass?
Thank you for any help or advice!
