klb, are you sure you're not talking about the CB *uphaul*? I have no experience w/ Amsteel, but I do have experience w/ replacing the UH cable on TRW, and the first thing I discovered is you don't have to remove the board: you can get to the tang attachment point w/ the boat careened, and use a messenger line to pull the old out/put the new in. I used a galvanized cable that has a clear (Lolon? Not sure) sheathing. It's what I had available to me where I work, and also have the crimping tools/swedges as well. I have experience w/ Spectra (also strong, slippery, and easy to splice), and I wonder if it would work as well?
