The bridle that came w/ my boat consisted of, in order, 2 lines (of
course), 2 ss thimbles, 2 ss shackles, 1 ss ring, 1 ss shackle, maybe 4 inches galv. chain, and lastly ss grab hook to hook on anchor chain. 4 inch galv chain became rusty chain in fairly short order. So I replaced all the ss items w/ galv stuff. Plastic thimbles. Since you have it, try it and see. "Wayne.B" wrote in message ...

It fit fine on 2 of them but not the third. If you want to buy one and try it I will buy it off you if it doesn't work. ==================================== My swivel arrived today from River Marine, and like you said, it almost fit my S200. Rather than take you up on your generous offer, I got out my favorite machine tool (old belt sander) and took a few thou off the end of the shank and added a little chamfer to the edges. That removed the galvanizing in those spots of course so I touched it up with some CRC cold spray galvanizing (gray paint?). It now fits fine and seems to work well, nice sleek looking unit. We'll have to see how well the cold spray holds up on the shank. Should I have any concerns regarding the stainless steel and the galvanized chain in close contact? |
