RE: [Paddlewise] She Needs Good Design (was She Needed a Rudder)

I replaced the original cable on my Nordkapp system with a heavier and
stiffer stainless cable from West Marine. It required a little drilling
of the slider knob and skeg but all the tubes carrying the cable had
plenty of room. It is significantly more robust and has unjammed when
the original cable may have bent. I replaced the cable when a fellow who
borrowed the boat dropped it on the skeg. In a pinch, it's possible to
reverse the cable so the bent part is in the cockpit. Make sure you
leave surplus cable extending into the cockpit.
