Title: Removable/Detachable Shanty Pull Rope
Post by: icebucketjohn on Dec 23, 2017, 05:56 AM

Made this up a few years ago and finally decided to share it with ya'all. It's my shanty PULL ROPE., can be utilized as a secondary throw/rescue rope attached to my shanty eye bolt that is easily & quickly removable with a carabiner.

Nice.  I keep telling myself that I am going to do the same but I haven't.

Great idea using the cariabiner. Easy to remove with cold hands. Thanks for sharing

Great idea, I pulled a dog sled with my snowmobile and kept a throwing ring and rope near the back of the sled where someone could stand, never had to use it but it was there. I pull a 2 man clam now, sold the boat and the life ring went with it, I'll have to get something else. Those throwing bags look interesting, but using the tow rope from a smitty or a flipover would work also, alot easier to get to. thanks

How long and how thick did you make the rope? Have to be careful on the carabiners also as some of them don't have a high poundage rating.

I got the same setup but I just tied the rope to the carabiners I was just showing my buddy yesterday on the ice and how well it would double as rescue rope.20ft pull that's 40ft of rope

Minimum 18ft of 1/2" , 9/16" or 5/8" Nylon Rope... the longer, the better

This is a good idea.  I have it on my Smitty, but really need to do this for my portables.
