Swege For Rudder Cable

For use with 1/16 in. stainless steel rudder cable. 

Common on Necky, Old Town, Ocean Kayak, Perception, Dagger and Wilderness Systems kayaks.

How to:

• Crimp the swage by squeezing it very tightly with a Rudder Cable Crimper Cutter Tool or Vice Grips. You may need to squeeze it a couple times.
• Carefully cut off the waste end of the cable close to the swage. If you placed a second swage on the cable it can be slipped over the frayed end and squeezed in place, covering the sharp wires, and adding extra security.
• Alternatively: Wind some duct tape over the frayed end if necessary.
