Baller skibrain Posted September 5, 2020 Baller Share Posted September 5, 2020 A friend gave me a new-condition Straightline mainline. However the section loops are spliced too small to fit over a pylon and it has this short yellow section. Is the yellow chunk the consistent pylon connection? But does this inappropriately add 18” to each line length? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MNshortliner Posted September 5, 2020 Baller Share Posted September 5, 2020 Yellow line could be a cheater/ extension line for shorter lengths. Check the other loop on the red/15 off section. It could be hooked up backwards. One loops is usually bigger than the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller alex38 Posted September 5, 2020 Baller Share Posted September 5, 2020 I think, I repeat, I think that yellow section comes out when you use a PP “switch” module and goes back on when you are not. Switch is fairly obsolete so that thing stays on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Killer Posted September 5, 2020 Baller Share Posted September 5, 2020 Use it for dock/anchor line. Got to be over 10 years old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller skibrain Posted September 5, 2020 Author Baller Share Posted September 5, 2020 @Horton done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dave2ball Posted September 5, 2020 Baller Share Posted September 5, 2020 The small section is for a slalom switch. It was used for many years with perfect pass. It is the same switch that is used for jump. The loops are small because a carabeanier is used. If no switch is used the yellow goes on the handle end. Horton is right the rope looks old may be not worth keeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ The_MS Posted September 5, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted September 5, 2020 Measure it and after you find out it’s off, dump it in the trash like @Horton said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller cruznski Posted September 5, 2020 Baller Share Posted September 5, 2020 That is a very old rope even if it was not used, and @dave2ball explained your rope is meant to be connected to a switch that went on the pylon and was 18" long- it was to tell when the rope got loaded up to apply throttle on (I mean 2 decades ago) Perfect Pass. The material in ropes does not age well, I would discard it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skibrain Posted September 5, 2020 Author Baller Share Posted September 5, 2020 Thanks for the replies! Ok ok ok. It’s a dock line or an anchor rope at best. I did not say I was going to go skiing with it. Apparently no one else did with this one 20 years ago either. The handle and mainline that I actually ski with are less than a yr old.
