Need to replace the worn out anchor rope. Looks like 3/4 inch rope to me, any suggestions? I don't want to skimp here so no low quality recommendations just those that meet the need and any additional recommendations are fine.
Would love to go back to a chain windlass system but not this year.

Re: Anchor Rope
The primary factor is your windlass. What type/size rode is it setup for. Beyond that I believe three strand nylon with ~15' of chain is standard.

Re: Anchor Rope
Let's make sure my terms are straight. The winch pulls a 3/4 inch rope and it goes into a space forward of the forward stateroom.
When I opened it up, it looks like it collects in that locker.
So reading your reply, a 3/4 inch nylon rope should work then?

Re: Anchor Rope
Yup. If what you have now works and is just worn or frayed then replace with same. My understanding on the windlass is the rode size/type needs to match the spools. Not sure how to tell what you have, maybe someone more in the know will chime in.

Re: Anchor Rope
If you can, ALWAYS better to go chain/rope or all chain. Especially in your boat and you do any overnighting. Check your windlass to see if it will accept it, it's literally night and day.
