Broken Keel Cable

[Kenny C.]

While Raising/lowering the keel last weekend the keel cable snapped at a frayed spot. (I knew it was going to happen, was just hoping to get a little more life out of it). Does anyone know the diameter and length of the cable? Also any info on the swaged clevis at the keel end would be very helpful.Thanks in advance.

I have mentioned

Although I have a V222, I put twin cables on my keel, one as back up! Should one break the other will still raise the keel! There was plenty of room for two on the V222, so i am guessing that on the 25, the same would apply!
