I had 2 of my riggers get tangled up and the coated cable for my Sub-trol got the coating shaved off for about 2 feet. It's not near the end where I could cut it off and reconnect it to the swivel so I'm wondering if I can repair it. Does plasticote or something else work or should I just buy new cable?

the only thing i can come up with is using heat shrink tube.
just the plain stuff. the stuff with the glue in it may be too stiff after shrinking.
you would still have to cut the clip off the end and unwind it far enough to slip the tubing on. but i would think it would work.

I went to the mans mall and got some liquid electrical tape. If that doesn't work I guess I'll just have to head to Kewaunee and find that free stuff.  |

Amazing how crap doesn't tangle when nobody tries to 'drive' the boat and just let the AP do it |
