Title: Keel cable fix kit?
Post by: Scooter on Aug 10, 2026, 05:43 PM
I waited too long and now it's become an issue. I need to replace the keel lift cable on my 1985 WWP19. Does anyone know of a Dyneema kit available like the Duckworks one? A good (maybe quick too) supplier for the line and hardware? I pretty much bought everything from Duckworks up till now. :(

FWIW I went with Amazon 1/8" AmSteel blue and a matching thimble for the keel attachment. Not sure yet how I'm going to secure it to the winch drum, supposedly a few turns and friction fit is sufficient. I might add a stopper or a buntline hitch...
