21:30 Using cable ties to mouse shackles: I've encountered several white cable ties over the years which had become brittle due to UV exposure. Some of them had actually broken, but this wasn't immediately obvious because the plastic had permanently deformed to the shape it had been bent into. Given that the shackle joining anchor to chain is constantly exposed, it seems to me that using a cable tie there would be unwise. My understanding is that black cable ties are _supposedly_ more UV resistant, but...

[@AlanDenham-rx9vs]

Couldn't agree more! Though I use cable ties extensively on all my other shackles, I ALWAYS use proper seizing wire on my anchor shackle. It's not just the UV, but chafe from sharp rock and sand on the seabed. 🙂
