Some years ago I had to repair the rudder cable on my Feathercraft K-1. Feathercraft mailed the crimping/suaging sleeves free. I got the crimping/suaging tool from a local hardware shop. I can't remember the price now but I am certain it wasn't particularly expensive.

A crimping tool at West Marine is $110 and about 3 ft long. I tried using some vice grips but the suage did not hold. Any advice for good crimping without the big tool? *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
