Carver Owners Forum

I will be finishing up replacing all the SS/PVC life lines on the 405 Carver. Bought the swage toggle terminals, swage studs and PVC SS cable from BOSUN Supply.
I bought the swage tool and can make it available to anyone wanting to crimp 1/8" or 3/16" cable. Not sure if I will use it again? Only ask it get sent back after use. Dan

Wow, that's a really generous Dan. Thanks for the offer. Will keep it in mind.

I may take you up on that. I've been wanting to replace these parts with new. Do you mind posting what you used?

Below are listed the BOSUN Supply item codes:

S0708-0307, SS wire PVC 316, 7x7, 1/8"x1/4". 37'

S0737-H003, SS hand Swage toggle terminals 1/8" 8ea

S0732-H0703, SS hand Swage Stud 1/8" wire LH. 8ea

The left handed treaded stud threads into your existing spring clasps. Saves a lot money if you can reuse them.

Cable is $.83 per foot.
Toggle terminals are $9.44 EA
Studs are 6.75 EA

The swage tool is held in vice and has two grade 8 bolts between two jaws. Insert terminal into jaws, cable into terminal, ratchet bolts to close jaws and form crimp on terminal. Rotate terminal 180 degrees and I crimped each terminal 4 times alternating each crimp 180 degrees. Better looking than the factory crimps.

Your more than welcome to the tool.

g36, I also have the SS cutting tool for the cable. You will need it also if you decide to go with the project. No problem sending both.

thank you i will be in touch, i need to definetly this to do mine i will move this project up on my list. i bet the new lines sure look good

Previous lines were brown and cracked from years of sun and handling. Need to treat with a good vinyl protection. Looking forward to getting them installed. Also replaced windshield canvas, Maxwell foot switch covers, and swim ladder hand grip. Canvas overall has a couple good years left.
