What line? T9000, Spectran?

Buy your hook from where ever, get the thimble and line from:

West Marine
Mike Rigging
Del Rey Riggers
Harbor Rigging
Layline
APC
Etc...

Call me retarded, but it seems like only offroad guys buy sailboat line from an Offroad supplier. A 3 year old can do the splicing.

I'm sure I've still got my blue jackets manual around here somewhere. After 20 years in the navy, you'd think I'd learned out to splice a line, but alas, I only delt with electronics and networks, go figure. Good idea on the boat places. I'll check it out.

Had a feeling you were gonna be replacing that line..:laugh:

Which winch do you have? Make sure that there is room for 100' of 3/8" line

markw · May 5, 2008

Looking at west marine, Endura 12 which has a 13,300 in 5/16" or 19000lb in 3/8". is 2.40 a foot for 5/16". Not much of a savings over some place like winchline.com

I'm running a "summit" T-max 9000, it came with 94 feet of 21/64', was looking at putting 80-90 feet of 3/8" Amsteel Blue on it.

:laugh: I probably(hopefully) will never winch as much as we did that today, but want to be ready. f*@K steel cable.

sorry to bring back an older thread but has anyone located additional local vendors for affordable winch line?

mikedashg · Jul 25, 2008

I have a gift cert for 50 bucks to master pull. I could probably use a new line, but their 50' of 5/16" rope is 234 bucks!

hellbilly04 · Jul 25, 2008

Check with Trouble, I know he is in the works of buying a 500ft spool & making 100ft kits to sell.

I got my line from Rockstomper.

cal · Jul 25, 2008

I've bought three from winchline.com in the last 2 years and am VERY happy with the product.

Josh, you should be pretty happy with my winchline too

HAHAHA, there's only a select few that would get that. I'm one of them. I love it.

djblade311 · Jul 25, 2008

I guess you guys missed the part about LOCAL vendors. thanks though.

I think Erik said that deal went south if you are referring to the 7/16's x 100ft stuff he posted a while back

Trouble · Jul 25, 2008

Yea my good deal fell thru . It was actually too good to be true. Im still looking at doing something as long as its cost effective. I can downgrade to 3/8" rope, that will definitely help on the price.
