Thanks vic008 - just called them again and Margaret was very useful - seems that have 8mm (5/16 in), so I'm sorted. much appreciated.

Thanks - just called them. Looks like they have 6mm pipe, else larger diameter (10mm) clear hose, but that wouldn't be rigid enough to rotate, so possibly more friction?

The anti-chafing covers on my 7mm shrouds are perished and need replacing. Am thinking of getting some 15mm pvc pipe from Bunnings, cutting a split in it and just pressing it on in 2 1.2m lengths so that inspection is still easy. The anti-chafing boots at the terminal end on the deck are fine, so it's just for the wire. 15mm pipe is bigger than I need but I don't see smaller diameter pipe online. Anyone got a better budget solution? Thanks
