Fish gut lines in salon blinds - Repair?

[Diversion]

All the wood blinds in the salon on my 2007 44DB have have some type of "fish gut" type lines thru the wood slat holes on one side. They've all broken and not obvious how to repair OR replace. Anyone with experience?

Hi. Not sure on your exact model which blinds you have but what I have seen with others I have done is that when you remove the entire blind unit, there is a channel at the top where the lines and machinery to lower/raise the blind run. New lines can be run through the holes in the in the wood slats then up into the channel. Should just have to match the connection method to the machinery with what is there now. Bit of a pain to do but not unwieldy a job. (I am assuming your blinds raise/lower and open/close like traditional blinds and if not, sorry).

Good luck.

Thanks Shenanigans, I gave up hope on anyone answering and was wondering if I was the only one with broken lines. Will remove entire blind unit and try. thanks again,

Diversion, thankfully mine haven't broken, which is a surprise given the number of times my wife and kids lower and raise them. Good luck with the repair I'd be curious to know how you make out. On another note, how do you store your tender on the boat? Hydraulic platform?

My 480 DB has a blind that the fabric parted at the top.
Anyone know where one can get replacements?
