Dutchman Monofilament - Where to get?

[rpwillia]

I need to replace the monofilament on my dutchman. Where is the best place to get it? Thanks

I just replaced mine with Trimmer Line I purchased at Lowe's, I got the stuff with Teflon in it for added strength. Works Great!

Great Idea

Never thought of that. Was thinking of finding a fishing store or checking in Wal Mart. Trimmer string sounds like a better idea. Thanks Ray

wonder how UV resistence it is?

UV Resistance

I seem to remember that somewhere (perhaps the Dutchman site) that you could use line from a fishing store. So, ... I don't think it matters. But I totally love the idea of just getting it from Lowe's as that is real easy. It is not hard to replace, so that is also a bonus.

Re: UV Resistance

I've used trimmer line for 8 years & only replaced it once after 4 years in Texas sun.

I've used the trimmer line, as well. I was told there's only one or two companies that manufacture that kind of monofilament. Like lots of other things we use, if they label it for sailing or marine, they mark up the price.

I got some from the fishing place, and it lasts about two years.
