Re: Stus-List 1980 C 30 MKI - DIY Lifelines

We replaced our life lines some years ago. What I remember is that it was not that hard. My wife says we got the parts from West Marine but I think we got them from somewhere else. In any case you need a good tool to cut the wire and a good tool for nicro pressing. And careful measuring. Dave.

Chris, Before I closed my marine repair business couple years ago, I routinely made hand crimp lifelines. They're OK. I have them on Touche'. They don't have that really nice professional look of a machine swaged lifeline. I used a tool like this:

Chris, I did the lifelines on my boat with dyneema (Amsteel) and fittings from CS Johnson. Look on page 29 of their catalogue for the fittings and kits. www.csjohnson.com James Delaney C 38 1976 Oriental, NC On 8/31/2017 10:47 AM, Chris Hobson via CnC-List wrote: The surveyor when I

If you race, check the regs about using Amsteel. I think the concern was about the attachments; not the Amsteel itself. Amsteel may no longer be acceptable as race rigging for lifelines. If you use wire, make sure it is not covered. Use bare wire. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC

I have used the old suncor swage fittings which get marketted for landscaping and architectural applications. They were easy. When I did my lifelines I chose to use 1/4" amsteel and a locked brummel splice on both ends. The system has worked well for about 3 or 4 years. The amsteel rating was
