Just bought (stole) a m19. Problem with a broken keel lifting cable. Can you make your own? Buy one somewhere? Then...how is it installed? This one is frayed and sitting in the cabin. Thks!

Thank you! Our cable broke and we need to replace it. Is there a guide for replacing the old cable? Or diagram?
Go to this guy's site. He has a step by step procedure for replacement. dougpile.com
I did mine. Venture 25. Look into the the past forums here for specifics. On the 25 I think it is 12 feet. BWY could tell you. I had a local rigging shop make a couple for me. These guys are used to making crane hardware so it was fun for them. I had them make all of my standing rigging. Very cheap. The owner ended up giving me the fore stay and swage for free. I call to say hi, chat and thank you from time to time.
Perhaps I am wrong.
