I had too many types of rode slip in my gypsy, so I switched to all chain. I've been very happy. We use our boat exclusively for diving, so we anchor every time we go out.
Our filler hose was installed incorrectly. It was two inches short, and came off the filler nipple. We pumped gas into our starboard bilge for yeara before I discovered the reason.
