Rudder cable
Jul 19^th, 2018 at 6:43pm

Had a rudder cable break on my 35 cc Factor today right at the clevis end where it goes through the hole. Angry

Appears the vibration on the metal clevis end cut through the cable.
Any suggestions to keep this from happening?
Any ideas for replacement cable as I’m having trouble locating cable online in a timely fashion. Anybody used something like 100-200 lb spectra braided fishing line? Strong and doesn’t stretch.

I only use the 4/40 cable on the gas engines. Grant Du-Bro no 518

I’m still thinking about giving spectra braided line a try though. If it doesn’t work I have metal cable coming.

The Du-bro cable is made of strands of steel coated with nylon covering and never changes the movement of the rudder. Grant

The stuff is stupid strong for its size and zero stretch, that is why I thought it maybe a workable alternative to the metal cable. I have metal cable on the way from GH though. $16 for the cable kit and $14 shipping

Has been dealt with and shipping charges updated to $5.
