Ok Guys, this is getting interesting.
I pulled the rope all the way out and it measures 74" from the knot on the pulley to the back of the pull handle. I looked for the marks on the pulley and found there are TWO sets of marks. The first mark is about an inch wide along the edge of the pulley and is labeled " ARROW HERE WHEN RETRACTED" and the letter "E" is below that within the marks. To align with this I would need to remove 10" of rope.This would make my rope 64" total length. The second mark is also about an inch long and is labeled "ARROW HERE WHEN RETRACTED" and the letters below that within the marks are "J E". to align here I would need to remove 12" of rope. This would make my rope 62" in length. I’m guessing the E is for Evinrude and the JE is for Johnson Evinrude? Should I try the shorter one first and then move to the other if needed? Confused here.
