Piano Wire

[NitroVal]

Right now my boat has .120" flex cables and Im getting the feeling that they will not be enough to handle big power. I was curious, if a .078" piano wire would suffice to say 6S with a 442 prop? I want to try an avoid ripping the stuffing tubes out to accommodate a larger flex shaft and was wondering if this would be a good option?

You should be fine as long as there is not a lot of bend. I am running a 36 in. sport hydro on 6s spinning a 445 prop no issues as of yet.
