Marty,
I was taking off the electricians tape .. Marking for depth.
Thought the tape would't stay on but It's really on there .. after 5 years or so. I'll add tape rings every 25' after the end of the leader ... Four rings will be 150'. Think I'll try only one wrap as it sticks so well and then maybe I won't cut myself up taking it off.
Put a 50' 9/16" "leader" on my 400' 5/8ths Brait rode. Instead of swaping ends I'll just change out the leader. I can also quickly take it home and clean it.
Good to see you're instructing Joy on helmansmanship. Or is she just serving as autopilot? I run Willy about 80% of the time and do 100% of the landings but that's going to change. Intend to setup a landing situation and have her do it many times. She'll get a sense of how much more rpm is needed for reverse and how often to bump into neutral and for how long to maintain a walking speed. Graduate school will be walking on water pulling the boat along.
