Joe,
Lifeline replacement is high on my list for this spring, so let me ask a
question. I have two lines each side, the upper passes through
relatively large eyes on top of the stanchions while the lower passes
through holes barely bigger than the wire diameter, drilled through each
stanchion. The upper line is no problem, but how were you able to fit
the swaged or pressed ends through the holes, or do you have a different
arrangement? It appears to me I'd have to do the swage or press
fittings in place.

Marine has an actual rigging shop in the store and made my lifelines
for pretty cheap. If you don’t have gates in the middle it is just 2
pieces of wire, 4 ends, and labor to press them on. I think it was
something like $120 or so for my boat.

FWIW, it may be worth comparing the price of materials and a swage
tool against the cost of having an outfitting company like Rigging
Only fabricate replacements.

Hello all,
I need to replace the lifelines on my 1994 37/40+. I am going to go
with bare 7/19 wire, and need to crimp on the stud fittings. For the
hand crimp stud fittings, Johnson says not to use a nicopress tool.
West Marine's had swage tool is set to use both for oval (nicopress)
fittings and round fittings, but the person at the store had no idea
if the tool was adequate for the stud lifeline fittings.
I wasn't ready to do it this weekend, but would like to get the job
done shortly.
Does anyone here know?
Thank you!
