You beat me to it! I don't have a rope anywhere on my boat.

I've soaked the cheap stiff lines on my fishboat in fabric softener.

Oh old School and Cuda you old farts! Thanks for the clarification there

I don't think I could have gone on without it!

Having read your posts in the past Cuda, I can't believe you don't put yours in the dishwasher with your carburetor parts!
