[quote=Dogboy]I don't see anything I would really consider significant damage in the picture you posted of the righting line.
I'm personally not really a fan of righting lines that tie off at the rudder pins, however. To me, this just seems like an invitation for potential disaster. When you're pulling on the righting line, you may have two (or in some cases even three) people pulling on the line and if the line is tied off to the rudder pin, you're putting a lot of that load on the rudder pin and gudgeons. It seems to me that this opens the door for possibly breaking either the rudder pin (especially if it's aluminum or plastic) or a gudgeon which would really ruin your day. I think a much better option is to either drill a dedicated hole through the hull flange to tie off the righting line or install an eye strap in the transom for tying off the line. Just my 2 cents.
