| Post subject: | Making righting lines from stock hollow braid |
Hey there - I can load shock cord into 1/2" hollowbraid to make my own righting lines and save some cash, but I was wondering how to terminate the ends so that the end of the hollowbraid and the end of the shock cord don't ever separate. Any ideas? Thanks! G |

3/8 Shock Cord fits into 1/2" hollow braid. At the end of the area where the shock cork will be (not the full length of the 1/2" line) bring the shock cord through the jacket and all the way aropund the outside of the line and back to itself again. Use hog rings to fasten. |

Hog Rings (and the pliers used to crimp them): 
Typically, the line is attached to the rear deck lip, either by drilling a small hole through the lip (where it won't leak) and using a small diameter line to attach the hollow braid, or alternatively, you can loop the small diameter line around the rudder pin between the deck and the lower rudder casting. |
