[C320-list] Length of rode?

[Jon Vez]

Check with Defender. They have great prices and have both pre made setups as well as custom. They also sell Crosby shackles. I also agree to consider plait. It’s not only easier to handle, it also takes up much less space...good luck and congratulations on your new to you boat!
