Steering line
 

Okay, gotta redo the steering on the PA17, want to get something stronger then the one that it came with. Any suggestions?

Braided steel line.

Why don't you rig your own....
 

I don't own a hobie,. but I don't see why 500lb + 316 stainless wire rope won't work with copper crimps.
Or go heavy....just make sure the stainless is 316 and not 304. When I had a steering wheel on my canoe I used home depot plastic coated wire rope with clamps and plastic pulleys never had one problem.

Use stainless
 

Chafing clips instead of the fiber woven.
Check spec sheet get an OD on your cable and an ID on your crimp...
Go one size over:D

I can sell you some cable and crimps....
 

If needed.

I'd have to look at the existing string for the diameter, but how much for say 40 feet of the cable and a few crimps.

Just order it on Amazon
 

I saw a complete set 1/16 Dia 316 grade stainless wire rope kit marine with chafing clips and crimps aircraft complete set it was cheap $25 100ft

You need to get a pair of cable cutters
 

To cut clean without fraying or you won't get the crimps to slide on the cable end. There cheap to on Amazon $11.00 good luck if you didn't live so far I would help you

Get the pair
 

That's just for cutting wire rope. Or your cuts won't be clean it frays easy.
Ps if you want to come over I will help you I live in east county San Diego. I have everything you need just bring your kayak.its your 📞 📲 🤙 ☎️ 📵 ✌️ ☮️ 🕊 out.

Or better yet
 

I could meet you at Lake Murray and we could rig your kayak. I go there every week for excerise.
I'll have the drills if needed cable crimps cutters ect.

Looks like I have....
 

3 different sizes wire rope / cables

Thank you for the offer to help string the kayak up, but I already found the wire and tools on Amazon. Thank you.
