I am slowly swimming to the soft shackle side of the pool. Can we get some dialog going about the safe and proper use of them? What do they really replace? Can I eliminate the steel D clevis altogether?
My last bumper, I made the clevis eyes with soft shackles in mind. I rounded the corners after a deep countersink in hopes of threading the shackle through the hole in the eye. I still think it is not enough, compression over that radius is still "sharp" I think. How far do I go? Any and all input including rabbit trails are encouraged.
