I have been thinking of switching to synthetic line and was wondering if I could fit 100' of 3/8 on my M8000 or if I should just go with 85'.

Pics would be appreciated.

 

You can use the 3/8", just be careful when you winch that it doesn't all coil in one area.

 

Thanks, Are you running 100' of 3/8" synthetic? I have heard that it would fit but didn't want to have any problems incase it is a tight fit. Would be nice to have the extra 15' if I could.

 

Talk to David at Northridge. I just ordered my M8000 from him and told him I wanted synthetic for the weight savings and for use in rigging rescues and he recommended 100' of 3/8" - so that's what I ordered. It gets installed next week, but it sounds like he's used that same combination before on other rigs. Knowing David's reputation, if he recommends it then it works...

 

Hey thanks. I will probably do the same.
