Re: OMC rewind starter ropes

[frankr]

Whatever method you use, be sure you never pull the rope all the way to the end. If you do, it is just about guaranteed that you will yenk the end off or cut the knot off. Recoil rope sheaves that are made for nylon rope have a pin that the rope goes behind to relieve stress/cutting of the knot. Whenever I put a nylon rope in one of the old ones, I drill the sheave and install a roll pin. Now if I could just find my picture of it.
