I carry 5/16 HT on my 42. It used to be 275ft, but there is only 180ft left. I had to cut off 95ft due to rust. Now I should cut off another 10ft or so at one end. It's time to get new chain. If you change from 3/8 to 5/16 you also need a new gypsy on the windlass. But 275ft of 3/8 is a lot of weight in the bow!

Dick,
Not sure if you have the same Muir VR-3000 windlass as I have on #161, but when checking the gypsy this weekend, I found 5/16 BBB stamped on it. It has been pulling 3/8 BBB for the past 20+ years. Talking to the Muir distributor, he says there should have only been 5/16 BBB or 5/16 HT run through that gypsy. Wondering what negative effects running 3/8 through it has caused?
