Fitting covers to dyneema ropes

[Mark Taylor]

Can someone point me to a guide on how to fit Marlow MGP covers onto my dyneema halyards?

Also, if I have 10mm halyards, how do I know what size cover to buy? Is 10mm cover designed for 10mm rope or do I have to buy, say, 12mm cover for a 10mm rope?

Many thanks!

Looks as if I will have to! Normally I just download a file or find a YouTube but drew a blank on this instance.....

Do you mean splicing it over as an additional protective cover ? if so I think this is the type of video your after - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thyLfoOHe-4 I have done this a couple of times and it is quite time consuming to do it well.

As for sizing I would double check with who your are buying it from what they would recommend.

Ingwe, thanks for this.......exactly what I needed and I can see why you say it takes a while!
