I take it you are running 1/4" cable? Some use a teflon liner but I use just the 5/16' brass tube so I would just solder a short piece of next size tube over it.

Thank you all for the well wishes!! I returned home yesterday after a 2 week stay in hospital and i'm on the mend but taking it easy for a bit. The not being able to catch a breath is still scary as hell and don't recommend it to anyone!!
Thanks Guts

You mite want to get the-paint drawing from David Newton to look at to help you with your build. The vents on the Dumas kit are not slanted like the real boat.
