Q: null For a 12"" buoy with 2"" tube, (I already have mooring, 3/8"" lower chain and swivel). 1. What size upper chain would you recommend for 17' sailboat? ¼ or 5/8""? 2. What type of shackle do you recommend for connection between anchor chain and pendant so that it sits nicely on top of the buoy?

A: Typically the top chain should not be smaller than 3/8"". Use a 5/16 shackle with a bushing to protect the top of the mooring ball. The bushing is commonly a donut shape made out of a durable material such as high density polyethylene, StarBoard, or thick rubber. Mine was cut out of a tire.

Q: null I am mooring a 21 foot 2000 lbs pontoon in 5 feet of fresh water, can I use the T3C mooring buoy as part of the mooring line or do I have to schackle to the chain under the buoy?

A: Agree with __quote__Steve P__quote__ (the second reply). The point of the T3C is to attach your chain thru the tube to a 4__quote__ ring at the top. Then tie off your pendants to the ring. No worries about lines getting twisted under the buoy. I didn't get the extra sleeve. My last buoy lasted for years without one, until the ice carried it away. You can always add the sleeve later if you notice damage to the tube.

Q: null Re T3C mooring collar, would it be beneficial to glue the collar to the mooring ball with 3M 5200? Would this create another problem? John

A: I used a clevise on the chain below the ball to keep the collar tight into the ball. I don't see any reason why you couldn't glue it in place though.

Q: null does the taylor made sur-moor TC3 mooring buoy come with the 2.5 inch collar ?.

A: As far as i can tell the collar comes in 2__quote__ and 2 1/2__quote__ diameters. There is also a steel color that protects the buoy from chain wear at this point..
