Thanks
I had an otter island and used to do the hookup myself but that was a few years ago. Don’t think I would attempt it now as I can’t hold my breath that long anymore!!

If I remember correctly I used 3/8 stainless chain. But I think there was some type of shock absorbing lanyard attached to the raft that the chain attached to. I honestly don’t remember exactly. Being on the West side of Welch my raft would get beat with waves so 3/8 chain wasn’t overkill.

There are numerous people out there who can do this for you. Not sure where your at but any of the divers or dive shops around the area would lead you in the right direction…
