Lines looked new and salt stiffness gone. If you're squeemish about salt water in your $4000 super washer 5000, take them to a laundromat without an attendant that has front loader commercial machines. DO REMEMBER TO TAKE ANY ANCHORS AND HEAVY TACKLE OFF THE LINES! LOL Our anchor is all chain on the primary rode, and we've never used the alternate anchors that we have, so that should be 'like new' Bob brings home the lines when we put the boat up in the winter, and washes them in our washer. We have about 14 docklines that we use on a regular basis plus some that are on the pin rails for use when we go into another marina, so this takes him awhile. He usually dries them on the front porch. |
