Anyone know how I can get my hands on rope replacement for our bumper rail for a 1978 ski Tique? I think I need 50 ft. white, 3/8 nylon ------------- My '78 Ski Tique Family Boat Purchased NEW in the summer of '78 Restoring it LIKE NEW for the summer of 2018! |

Susan, you can get replacement rope from nautique parts or lowes/HD. I replaced the rope in my 88' SN back in 09 with rope from Lowes. Still looks good in 2022 especially if you hit it with a pressure washer at the beginning of the year. ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

I found/used some from Amazon. Looks great. Warmth helps the install. ------------- 1964 Dunphy X-55 "One 'N Dun" 'I measured twice, cut three times, and it's still too short!" |

Wow, for some reason I did not think about looking on Amazon. I definitely want to get twisted vs braided, which was in the boat originally but what is best, nylon or cotton? ------------- My '78 Ski Tique Family Boat Purchased NEW in the summer of '78 Restoring it LIKE NEW for the summer of 2018! |

I don't think I'd run right out and buy the rope yet since nobody has answered your question about the rope diameter. It's bigger and a really tight fit to get it in the rubber part. I'd pull a little of the old rope out and measure it if nobody pops up with a good answer Or click on the link below for some reading  http://www.google.com/search?q=correctcraftfan.+rub+rail+rope&oq=correctcraftfan.++rub+rail+rope&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i546.15845j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8" rel="nofollow - link

Kens correct if it’s the same as my ‘85. If your rubrail is original it takes a 5/8” rope, if it’s what they are selling now it takes 1/2” rope.

The original rub rail was really ripped up so we replaced it a couple of years ago during our restoration project. The Replacement rope we put in was 1/2” (which was thicker than the original). There is no way that 5/8” would fit. However, the guy that put it in for us cut it too short and it shrank! Since we need to start again, we thought we’d go a little smaller because we thought the 1/2” seemed too fat. Plus we can’t figure out how to get it in.

Hey
Gary, Thanks for this image.
This helps a LOT. The link to the video is a different subject so I think that
is not likely the video you intended to send. That
said, It looks like everyone thinks i need to get the 1/2" rope,
which is what we have in it now. As you can see, It really Shrank!?

The link works for me. It's a 14 second video showing someone pushing a black rope into the rubber part.. Click on replay at the far left and maybe it'll go back to the beginning of what he linked........ it did for me.
