Do you use an electric outboard on your dinghy, or would you consider using one?
Thanks to all readers who replied to last week’s survey on the use of anchor rode snubbers. 87% say they do use a snubber. Of those, 73% use a length of nylon line with a chain hook, 12% use a length of nylon line with a rolling hitch, 9% use a length of nylon line with an elastic mooring snubber and 6% say they do not need a snubber because they anchor with a nylon-to-chain rode.
