i think the guy meant 7x19.

v12 is great line but its low UV resistance maskes me shy from recommending it as a halyard line.

that is why we use covered lines. 1/4" endura braid (since we are talking in NERopes names here) is about the same as 1/8" wire in strength.

the guy is right, consider going to hi-tech line if your sheaves are really an issue. rarely is there a problem running line through sheave boxes, but make sure the wires have not filed sharp burrs on the metal up there. new sheaves from Zephyrwerks.com are only about $25 for boats that size...
