1978 SF restoration, my first one.....

Mule tape is exactly what I am talking about. I guess now that I know it will break at 4000 pounds I would need to be a bit more careful pulling wires in the boat. Don't pull an extra tape - just use a lot of tape. If you need to pull from the transom to the console - say 12 or 13 feet, then use a tape that is 25 or 26 feet long. It will never get pulled out - just pull it back and tie it off on both ends.
