Hi all. I needed to replace my rudder rope and I got a piece of 3/16th Nylon rope. I am not happy with the stretch factor of this rope. With a little pull on the rudder, it moves out a good bit. Is there an acceptable tolerance for line-stretch effecting the position of the rudder?
So my question...what is the proper rope for the rudder down hold? Is there a a non stretching rope? The piece I had fit perfectly in the rudder line hole. I can't seem to find that exact size. 1/4 inch is too fat and 3/16ths seems good, but not as well fitting as my original rope. Is from 1984!
Thanks for any opinions.
