This is an old revision of the document!
The steel cable in the photo above had been recently inspected and seemed okay, but it was 5 years old. Maybe time to go with dyneema. As a precaution some folks move there dyneema lines a bit each year to change where it may be rubbing on the line in their boats….
Broken Rudder Cables
In a river mist, if another boat knocks against yours, you might yell at the other fellow to stay clear. But if you notice then, that it's an empty boat, adrift with nobody aboard, you stop yelling. When you discover that all the others are drifting boats, there's no one to yell at. And when you find out you are an empty boat, there's no one to yell.
