That diamea winds on so damn tight, if you rince there is no way any rinse will get to the spool barrel, or any water that maybe in the rope with remain after such pressure..
But rinsing or not, water / salt will get down the sides, and any salt on the 1st part of the rope will get on the spool..
I have my rope ut to length..
ie when wind out, I leave about a 1 1/5 turns on the spool.. I know when I walk down the plank, andf pick up the hook hanging on the 2nd to last roller, there is enough length to hook the boat and when stand up to walk back, enough loose rope to stand up.. and tension the bow against the center roller easy...
A little thought makes things very quick and easy..
A quick wind to take that slack out, the boat is held on the center roller..
And the reason for only 1 1/2 turns on the spool is.. the more layers you have.. ie the larger the spool gets.. the faster the boat comes up at a given speed, the the effort increases dramatically..
Goes bal park like this
1st layer wind on say X
2nd layer is just over 1.5x X
3rd layer is getting to 2 1/2 x X
4th layer If have enough rope/ trailer length getting upto 4 times..
With wire rope the diameter on each layer is even greater.. the dimmeera stuff compresses.
Now you make consider that thin strop seat belt stuff....
Till you actually measure what and resise what how winds on..
A rope winds on across the spool right.. this stuff winds on on top of its self.. EVERY turn...and that spool gets far bigger far faster...
Unless you can drive the boat right up into the trailer on the ramp you use and wobbly roller , not keel trailer.. hence short , only a couple layers.. still small diameter spool
The web stop stuff means a 4 lettered word "work"
So as you see "I work very hard at being lazy"
