I also replaced mine with a mower cord of the same diameter. Works fine. Only difference is that it is now white instead of black.

I also used amsteel,,,in yellow,,1/8 inch dia. about 2500 lbs of breaking strength, You can get it at any marine rope selling retailer, or here by the foot:
http://www.reddenmarine.com/amsteel-blue
or here.
http://dutchwaregear.com/25-feet-of-amsteel.html
Dutch is super fast shipping also and if you email him, he ships world wide.
Amsteel has no stretch whatsoever. Nor does it absorb water. The larger dia. is used for winch cables in 4 x 4's.

Re: Replacement cord for rope cocker question...
Amsteel is awesome for spicing also...you can make all kinds of splices like a locking Brummel for example. If it even frays alittle,,,no worrying as melt it lightly and keep on using. I have it on a hammock that I use every nite almost sleeping and have used it more than 2 yrs and still going strong and its only the 7/64th dia amsteel.

I use 550 paracord, colors vary on the wants of the user.
Make sure it is strong, and happy hunting.
