Terry,

My 1990 P19 keel wire was kinked badly. I was told that Stainless wire kinks
and it's hard not to have that problem. I DON"T KNOW IF THAT"S TRUE. I
decided to replace mine with line and will send you directly the email I sent
ot the list. I like the way it works. If you decide to replace the wire it
shouldn't be a big problem, but would be easier (or POSSIBLE) with a helper to
keep tension on the wire.

The keel lifting cable on my P-19 has been kinked and is beginning to fray.
I would like to replace it before I launch this spring. Does anyone have
experience with this job and could offer guidance?
