Hi Everyone,
I just bought a slightly used AMK Puffer this winter. I noticed that all three of the steel cables which hold the mast to the boat are frayed and need replacement... I went to a couple of Marine supply stores (Freeport, NY and Island Park, NY) Unfortunately neither one could help me out. One had steel line for sale , but they did not have the same 'ends' for crimping on to the end. The salesman told me that those are custom made and that he can order them from NC or something... Can anyone shed some light:
-First, is there a proper name for these parts/cables - excuse my boat illiteracy
-Second, best way or place to go to get these replaced ?
PS any online boat manuals for reference ?
Thank You
