Default rigging wire


Your neighbor's roof wasn't immersed in salt water very often either.
I doubt very much if galvanized wire will make a *satisfactory anchor
rode as I can't see how you can wash all the salt out *of the stands
so it will be rusting quietly away while on the drum.

Cheers,

It makes a fine rode.
jiminy what do folks think work boats carry? we dont have ss anchor's
or rodes. the cost is prohibitive and the life span is not as good. SS
does not like to work. the only advantage SS has over good galv is
that it is not supposed to rust Ever (if you get the wrong formulation
it sure will). that still does not off set the cost diffrance.

SS is mostly Cash flash there are other things that work as well or
better and are cheaper to boot.
