Stinger Anchor testing

Yea!!!!  We started automated accelerated life testing on our Stinger anchor system.  We are raising and lowering the Stinger 39,000 times which corresponds to raising and lowering the anchor system 50 times per outing, 3 outings per week, 52 weeks per year, for 5 years.  We’re going to inspect it for wear every 1000 raise and lowers, and make sure it still works smoothly. 

After 39, 000 raise and lowers, we will know what kind of durability and reliability we’ve designed into it… or what problems have come up that we can design out.  We’re going to have a completely reliable product!  Stay tuned.  This is the fun part!
