FYI, for the adventurous, you can make your own hand crimp SS lifelines. I've
made lifelines with both a wrench swage and a Loos hand swage tool. I have the
Loos tool. I got it off eBay for about $60. It sells normally for around
$250-300.
Couple of points here.

I recently (last week) replaced my upper lifelines with bare stainless. I
did the lower lifelines a couple years ago. All I did was take them into
West Marine and ask for a duplicate in bare stainless. The work was
outstanding and they fit like a glove. It was pricey though. I pai

When I added the radar arch and new stern railings to Imzadi in 2008/2009,

I learned that long ago when my Seiko with similar strap fell on to the

I am considering replacing my 17 year old lifelines (wire with white plastic

I like the idea of bare SS wire (long lifetime) although the hassle of the
fittings, swaging, etc. is not appealing.
OTOH, high tech line is begining to be used which eliminates the fittings,

That's what makes me want to question the prop. I can achieve about 4 - 4.5
