    A ghost is stealing my anchors...

    I do industrial climbing as part of my profession and wear fall protection. Our snap hooks have locks on the gates. I would never climb with a regular snap hook. You can twist a snap hook to apply pressure on the gate and it will open right up. I bet same thing is happening to you.

Make your transition from string to wire as smooth as possible, pour more than enough lube and pull downhill. I did a pull once with 15 cat6 in a 1". 260 feet with a transition from pipe...

    My OMC, 305 V8 stinger has a Prop Lyft problem

    Have you bypassed everything and fed power directly to motor? I would try that. Get a good ground on the case and jump the up wire (should be blue). I have also read that the aftermarket motors don't quite have the power the original ones have. There is also a thermal overload In Those motors...
