esshup, Thanks for that information. I really like the fact it floats and especially no whipping if it snaps. Reading the website it seems they offer a coated version as well which I think would to be better for my application running the length of the rope across the dam when pulling the drag. The only thing I didn’t like is the price for 600 foot of 1/2 inch rope. It’s about $4.20 per foot. Here’s a chart on the breaking strength for each size of rope.
