Vessel: 1997 Sea Ray 330 Sundancer
Windlass: Lofrans Progress One
Reason for replacement: Original rope and chain set up. I had the rope re-spliced to the chain three years ago and the gentleman who spliced it for me told me that this would probably be the last time I would be able to have this done because of the age of the rope. The splice is now fraying a bit so I would like to purchase a new rope.
My Research has found: My current set up is more than likely a 5/8" (15mm). I have read that 9/16" (14mm) would work much better with the Progress One that I have. Any truth to this?
Lofrans/Cabo I found an Italian company called Cabo that has a rope with a link already spliced, but no where I have found to purchase this in the US. Is this recommended by anyone here?
Any advice for purchasing a new rope and where would be great. Any are my sizes correct to your knowledge?
