Ron, I generally try to use the smallest line possible on my boat. A line
must be big enough to handle the load and small enough to fit with the
blocks, cleats and winches. Personally, I find 1/4" line to be too small to

I saw a boat that was only about 3 years old with a rudder split from ice. Some
people have holes drilled in their rudders at the bottom they drill out in the
