Mollys vs shackles
furpo; is it working fine to use a molly (wire connection) on the mainline? I had allways trouble when we tried to make an eye to eye connection on mains or haulback, it would just wear out on the first couple of turns. When using a shackle between the eyes it works out fine, but then the problem is too narrow sheaves in the tower (of course these could be changed).
It would be of great advantage if I could just use a molly and it dont wear out the eyes in no time.
BDFT; absolutely a good paint drawing, normally I would connect the slackpuller direct to the shackle in the main, is the use of the chunk line because of extra line wear at the carriage?
And, it can be no difference in use of a MSP carriage where the dropline is threaded on the left hand side compared to the right hand side.
I have mostly been using pretty small drum carriages where u store 150' of drop line in the middle drum section. We allways use the main on the right hand side and the slackpuller on the left, but its no problem to thread it so the slackpuller is used as main and oposite (yarder is double main)
