Rope Size Hobie 18 Tramp Rails

Anyone know? I looked here and on www and only get 14 and 16 info...I thought might be 3/8 but looks like .5-inch. Thanks.

Are you asking about the tramp lacing line? Use 3/16" or 1/4" low stretch. 3/8" is overkill and 1/2" is beyond overkill and probably wouldn't allow you to tighten the tramp properly.

According to http://www.foghmarine.com/hobie-18-line-guide.html
Aft tramp lacing is (2 ea.) 1/4" x 15'-0" Yachtbraid
Center tramp lacing is (1) 1/4" x 19'-0" Yachtbraid

Sorry, did not get note of responses...

Dogboy and Jeff, thanks. I am going to use bolt rope to alter tramp...in side tramp rails.

I think I figured it out.

The bolt rope needs to be .5-inch...when the tramp material is added to 3/8 rope, it fills the bore or slot of the tramp rail slots.
