M_Boats: Re: Rudder shock cord diameter?

3/8 is what I used Just buy one at Home Depot. When you razor blade it expect a bloom so tape it tight before cutting, cut thru the middle. and burn the end to melt the shock cord. After a simple knot on one end, thread it thru the hole, thru the tiller and back thru the other hole. Pull tight and tie the last knot. Sent from my iPad

My 1988 M-15 rudder won't stay up reliably any more because the shock cord is worn out.

What diameter shock cord should I order to replace it with? I'd measure it myself, but the boat is an hour's drive away.
