But if they last over 20 years, does taking it below, along with the bumps, actually extend it's life? I kind of doubt it, with the...

I've had larger boats (see avatar) and I currently sail a 24-foot trimaran (corsair F-24). I STRONGLY recommend you install the panel...

Maybe. Maybe not. Seagull filters are not rated as microbial purifiers. I've asked them why and they didn't have an answer. Check NSF...

The problem was using the wrong drogue (not a sea anchor). Quality drogues do not rotate, even on a long single line. That is a basic...

Reeving or flemish eye. Stronger than any other method (~ 50% of line strength). Zero chance of it coming out. Will last as long as the...

A reeving splice is much stronger and possibly faster. Remove some core and do a bury splice eye as you would with singlebraid.

No such thing. Several reasons: If it cured faster, it would exotherm and get hot if more than a few grams were mixed. It's called...
