    Ronstan ball caps........

    Anyone know if the good ones are still available? Where? They had the curved, hard formed bill, terry cloth like sweat band at the forehead and the sizing system actually worked. You could get them to fit real snug, and they never blew off. The ones on the Ronstan website don't look the...

    X-treme angle fairleads/Acme cust.service?

    The new Harken x-treme angle fairleads raise the cams up so that it appears the wire guide which comes with the new cam cleat base then ends up too low to feed line through properly. Anyone had experience with this? Use the wire guides or not? E-mailed Acme last week about getting a...
