I'm looking to change out my anchor rode on 298 Vista, it looks straight forward until you start reaching around the compartment through the 4 inch access hole to find that the rope is attached to a cleat which is very tight and the end of the rope attached somewhere that I can't identify through feel. It looks like I will need better access than the 4 inch hole, anyone's experience with this task would be appreciated. |

On my 268 there was access behind the v-berth forward mirror. Normally it is just attached to a cleat, and you can either untie it or cut it off and feed the new one through the windlass and reattach it to the cleat. |

Yup, same idea on our 348. The forward mirror comes out and there's a large access opening leading to the anchor locker. I bought a new rode setup for ours but have yet to install it. |

If you are a freshwater lake boater like me who does not let out a lot of rode, you might consider switching ends because the rode that is in the anchor bay is hardly ever used and in good shape. Here is a good website to learn the chain splice: http://www.animatedknots.com/chainsplic ... dknots.com

I considered using the other end but after inspecting it, I decided to replace it. How did you go from a 406 Carver to 298V, that's quite a move down! |
