Lifelines

[AaronS]

Hi there,

I've been away from SpartTalk for a while, been too busy playing on land, and have just gotten back to messing about in boats. I'm helping a friend rehab a neglected boat and the lifelines are in dire need of help. I do want to stay with wire, but I want wire that's uncovered-I don't trust the vinyl coated stuff. What wire type (7x7, 1x19 ?) is used, and are mechanical terminals a viable option, or should I have them roll swaged. I would also prefer 316 wire - is that available for lifelines? Thanks for any input. I've missed SparTalk, it's good to be back...
