Two aging Revolutions have broken rudder steering lines. I see kits for $105, but it seems like I should be able to replace the Spectra 1.75 line that failed. If anyone could point me to a vendor, and also know of a good youtube vid I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Suggest using Scotty down rigger braided line, 200# test. Spectra is high tech braided line like the Scotty line and tougher than hell! https://www.amazon.com/Scotty-2700K-Dow ... th=1&psc=1

Thanks very much for responding. Before I buy it, I tried searching again at zon and had better luck. Here's Spectra 1.9, 550 test. Would the .15 mm make a difference in threading? https://www.amazon.com/Spearit-30FT-1-9MM-SPECTRA-BRAID/dp/B005URJ644/ref=sr_1_7?crid=33SD8Q1OWEAHV&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.aKyQqLAKqnABhy8IR8p_qcQvaUHijKICS_e2TTpX9KkZNQpd6DE8M6tDiTs_Dx_BDdLG80nFxn6plF6DCIAOFA.5GhMJAcFvIOL-TJMKBSjraDAFD6RQPMFxbihskrhHGg&dib_tag=se&keywords=spectra%2B1.75%2Bbraided&qid=1745081446&sprefix=spectra%2B1.75%2Bbraided%2Caps%2C121&sr=8-7&th=1

No idea, but this line should be larger in OD than the Scotty down rigger line. I know in postings years ago, the strength of Hobie's line was mentioned. Matt Miller and Road Runner will know this detail.
