well what is the chance of someone wanting part of one anyway :) leave it to me to come up with a hairbrain idea :) gonna set it up to use when I launch my boat by myself (which I most always do) and maybe this will keep my rope from getting so tangled up everytime I use it :)

I have never really understood why old guys launch with a rope. I launch by myself most of the time and have never seen the need for a rope. I back in with the winch strap still connected but in free spool. Once the boat is in deep enough that is slides off the bow roller, I unhook the strap, get in the boat, crank it and back off the trailer. I have seen several people launch with a rope, only to not be able to crank their motor. It's a real pain to load a boat that won't start.

Its really pretty easy to load a boat that won't start.....if you have a rope hooked to it. :) My next door neighbor launched his boat without a rope last week.....the wind caught the boat before he could get in it and took it out in the lake......he had to get someone to go and get it.

That is why you leave the winch strap hooked up...

Us "OLD" folks don't want to get in once and out one time. To much climbing in and out. Maachuu, Maj. and I have a retractable rope outfit on our boats. He might know what they are called but I don't. I have a slip knot in the end of the rope and slid it over the winch handle. When the boat is in the water, I pull it to the bank. Park the truck and go fishing. Once in and once out.

OK.....Major....tell us about the retractable rope thingy. What do you call it? , where do you get it?, and how much rope does it hold? cost?

Ok G, just for you....

Attwood Rein Anchor Lift

I've got one under the bow and aft deck. When I get ready to launch, I pull out about 20' of rope, loop the end around the winch, back down till the boat floats, pull forward slowly till the boat beaches itself, get out & unhook rope, park truck, go fishing.

Larry, I thought you had a Tracker 175, that's what I have. The retrac unit fits well under my bow.

They aren't cheap, but "G" and Maachuu can afford 3 or 4.

I hear you! I will say they are worth every penny. I was unaware that Attwood still made them. One hole is all Attwood requires.
