    This is a long shot: Replacement cable for TH Marine G Force handle

    I have the G Force Handle kit on my Ranger. The cable actually rusted and broke. I have the Barrel shaped retainer, that the cable goes through, along with the (2) tiny set screws that hold it on. I believe its a 5/32 Cable coated. Can anyone confirm or deny, and where they found theirs.

    Check with Lowes, Home Depot or your local hardware store. They sell it by the foot.

    ACE Hardware did not have 5/32. Had everything else. Will have to check Home Depot or Lowes.

    I’m surprised the cable broke before the cheap plastic handle.

    I use a poor man’s G Force. I cut the rope in half and now have a spare.

    I've never understood how that big plastic handle was an "upgrade" over the stock one.

    I use the same, but instead of the rope, I used green coated cable. I needed to buy crimps too, but I did mine for less than 20 bucks.

    I agree i'm also scared of dropping it on my screens and cracking the glass. Need to get a lighter handle to replace the gforce handle. It was all I had to replace my broken handle.

    I used a lawn mower handle I picked up at Lowes when the original broke. No issues since.
