Had the same thing happen to me last year. I went to a lawn and garden repair shop and bought the cord they use to pull start engines. Its a lot stronger cord and it seems like its gonna last longer too.

Man my trolling motor string broke in the down locked position today and I must say Motor Guide did'nt make it easy to unlock without the string. Had to completely remove and totally take apart. What a fun day!

It looked as though over time the string wore thin so I took a rat tail file and rounded the string hole edge through the frame. I might go ahead and get some of that lawnmower cord.
