I removed the line from the shackle that attaches to the jib to soak in fabric softener and look how scorched it is! It was just curled through the shackle as you commonly see. The picture doesn't do it justice, I'd say 1/4 of the line is eaten away.
The line is in pretty good shape, so do you think I can just cut, whip, and put each (new bitter end) through the shackle and tie a stop-knot on each end?
