Motorguide Pull Cord Replacement Help

[Jbyrd]

The turn next to the spot it ties on is a pain. Little trick I have learned from wireing houses. Cut or untie the knot were the rope is connected to the latch. THen be careful not to pull it out as you are doing this . Then tie a piece of heavy fishing line (20 lb test or even 50 lb braid) about 12 inces long to the end that was fastened to the latch. Tie the new rope to the other end of the fishing line and pull the new rope thru as you pull the old one out. If you have to fish a new rope thru it is a booger . Oh yea you will have to take the grip off the end . And another thing that saves you money stop at your local hardware and got a pull rope for a lawn mower 1\4 the price and better rope than what you get from a boat place.

Screwdriver works too...never leave home without it.
