AnthonyHayes Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Hello. Last time I took my boat out the rope from my rudder to my lock down mechanism broke on one of my rudders. It was 5mm. What is recommended size/rope type to replace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knobblyoldjimbo Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 3mm will do, spectra is best. I use Clamcleat CL257 cleats to hold them, they are alloy and release on impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darcy1945 Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 I prefer 6mm, less chance of jamming between blade and casting, I also file a groove in the top of my blades to keep the pull down rope central. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyHayes Posted November 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Thanks gents. Knobbly you mentioned the Clamcleat cl257. I looked them up. Does $28 sound about right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knobblyoldjimbo Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Yes, about. I think mine were 52 from Jimmy Buckland. Sadly he's retired now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
