Ahwww shucks, and the "Rehzzzzzzzz" told you not to read anything I said. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Wwweeellllll, he's probably right, but, I'll never tell. He knows I never have anything to say about boats, and I do put folks to sleep when I write, but.............well, I'll keep this short, just for "The Man". As was mentioned, the steel wire will probably be O.K., but, if it's a concern, you could try checking out the local lumber/hardware store and see what they want for 16 or 18 or smaller copper wire. I got 50' of 16 gage copper for my little canoe and it was under $5.00. Not too much to pay for a little relief. Heck, you can have all the comic relief for free from the "Rehzzzzzzzz." You'll find that you'll get more help than you know what to do with from these folks, and even the "Rehzzzzzz" comes up with a good one once in a while.
Wake up, you got work to do!!!!!
