[Paddlewise] Rudder Cable Replacement

Hi Guys,

I know from my years of digesting most of the good info that abounds on
Paddlewise, that there are probably some good suggestions for a "do it
yourself" guy, like most of you, about how to secure the loops in the rudder
end of the cables.  Maybe there are some special "tricks" that help in doing
this job..........  hmm???

Several months ago there was  quite a thread about throw ropes and tow ropes,
including thoughts about most appropriate diameters and kinds of line
available today.  I recall some comments about a new synthetic line that was
very strong even in a very small diameter.  Can't remember its name, but
believe it was (if you'll pardon the expression) a four letter word beginning
with the letter "s".   I believe there was some comment that this stuff could
well be used  for rudder cables.

As Derek usually concludes.........  "Any thoughts?"

Ol' Dave
