okay looking at our anchor chain may
0:03
have to cut a few links
0:05
off of course first I have to tie up
0:07
that uh our anchor there okay so I got
0:12
my anchor tied up back
0:15
here and uh I'm leaving this tight so I
0:19
can cut I think I'm going to cut right
0:22
about here I think these links start
0:25
looking
0:26
better and I just loose
0:30
6 in anchor chain I noticed after about
0:33
6 months some of my anchor wire uh my
0:36
safety wire that I had tied on here had
0:40
uh one piece broke off when I was
0:42
untwisting it so you know this is
0:45
probably a every six Monon thing to
0:48
replace of course we are in very
0:50
brackish Waters okay so I have the
0:52
anchor chain cut it's still quite
0:56
warm that last link is kind of warm but
1:00
I'm GNA go ahead and take this
1:03
off do this un twist
1:06
this slids down your chain you're going
1:09
to put this of course on your new chain
1:12
and then there's a pin that goes through
1:14
right here and you just pull that pin
1:17
out it just slides either
1:19
way and uh good thing we're not
1:22
over
1:24
water let see I want to keep that chain
1:28
and that's what our chain looks like so
1:29
so it's not too
1:33
bad but uh yeah I just want to be safe
1:37
and uh probably going to replace this
1:39
chain here
1:44
soon okay so to put this in I got the
1:48
pin in got the chain in and you just
1:52
this is Twist
1:54
around and you tighten it until you can
1:56
get some safety wire through that little
1:59
hole right there
2:00
there and uh that seems to be
2:04
good okay and then I taken a tie I'm
2:08
using stainless steel ties and I tie
2:12
four strands these are separate strands
2:14
in case one breaks they want break and
2:17
I'm using this stuff supposedly military
2:22
grade uh we all know what that means
2:25
it's probably overpriced and the same
2:28
value as some other things but this is
2:30
what I got so now that our anchor is
2:33
secure I'm going to go put up my tools
2:34
and I got to start cleaning the deck my
2:37
bab's back there she's cleaning in there
2:40
in the cockpit so
