Paddlewisers,

In the past I replaced my rudder cables with cable (1/16" wire) I bought at a 
marine store, and I never had problems with them.  But this last time I 
bought some cable (1/16" wire) that looks the same at a hardware store.  A 
couple months later and the hardware store cable is stiff and has crap all 
over it.  The lesson I learned is to make sure that the cable you use is 
MARINE GRADE!  The cable just being stainless steel isn't good enough.
