I plan to use line only for my bow grab handle on my Wood Duck 10. What is the best type line to use?
Also: I have put on 5 coats of varanish. What are some tips (do's and don'ts) about drilling the hole for the handle.
Another question is how do I make sure I drill straight so the bit comes out at the rightplace on the opposite side from where I start?
Thanks for any and all help.

Coach,
Nor sure about the varnish question, maybe a piece of masking tape to aid in a clean entry...?
I'm considering the same approach for simplicity's sake..., I'm thinking about a 1/16" pilot hole, drilled from each side to the center of the hull. Then using a Forstner bit, drilling (again, from both sides) to the middle should give me a good enough tunnel to pass the rope through. Forstner bits make really clean holes, and you can buy them individually (by diameter) if you don't already have a set.
Good luck; wish me the same!
