GOT ONE!! Opti: sky hooks are used anywhere where you have to lift something off the ground like with a block and tackle but don't have much to hook onto. Like someone else said they are used a lot lot with magnetic bearing grease and cans of propwash. Genuine sky hooks are identified only by using stainless steel magnets. If it grabs, it's a true sky hook. |

Sky Hooks are used to hold Mail Bouy's. They are painted with Black and Yellow Striped paint. They are normally kept/hung in the bos'n locker next to the Shore Line. Propper Sky Hook PMS includes, clean with a fresh Bucket of Steam, then repack the Muffler Bearings and change the Blinker Fluid. Before Sky Hooks can be checked out from the bos'n locker, you must obtain a HT Punch. Prior to deploying your Sky Hook, you must attach 100 feet of Gig Line.

| I have (1) 12" Metric Cresent wrench and 45 gallons of sailboat fuel that I need to sell. Anyone have an idea what they may be worth? I believe the cresent wrench is an actual CRESENT WRENCH not a china copy FWIW. The sailboat fuel is in a 55 gal. drum and will be pickup only. |
Just as a point of bewilderment, since "bosun" is already a shortening of "boatswain," just how lazy must you be to shorten it further? |
| I thought this would be a thread about this kind of skyhook. And I'd say we DO need some of those, just as soon as we have the tech to make it feasible. |
dont forget the can of prop pitch after you have used the wash speaking of sky hooks, I need to get a bucket of vaccum and a can of replacement electronic smoke anyone know where I can find some hi-loc nuts and rivet glue? |
That's funny, where I work, we usually use them to sling the wire stretcher. That is, when we aren't using it hold a bucket of ohms. Oh yeah, and then there's this contraption.  Skyhook |
Ask the bos'n's mate, I saw him in the Fo'c's'le. |

I sold my sky hook and used the profit to buy a bucket of steam. This place sells a set of sky hooks for $199 KaleCoauto  |
I think I've got some down by the bulkhead remover I took when I left the base. It was gonna get thrown out anyway. I keep it in the shed by the backdraft remover. I like to keep my removers together. But while we're on the topic, does anybody have some oil hardening compound, or a roll of backblast area tape? |
You forgot that you need to pick up at least 10 feet of slack, for that Gig Line. You can splice it in using a water hammer, a bag of compression, and the radiator from an older VW bug. Tall Shadow

Oh, Man!.....Replacing Magic Smoke from electronics is nothing short of imposable! You're going to need all of your Space Shuttle Door Gunner/Super Top Secret Mall Ninja Super skills to even attempt it! Tall Shadow

You got the right brand  I thought it was "relative" bearing grease. Anyone got 40 feet of chow line? |

Skyhooks are properly attached by hooking them into the fabric of the universe. PS, many an English car has lost it's Lucas wiring harness smoke. That's why Lucas sells replacement wiring harness smoke, it is for the replacement wiring harness made by Lucas. 'Lord Lucas, prince of darkness.' |
