Pull cord broke

Pull cord broke last Sat.  What would be the best thing to replace it with?  Wire cable?  Or just another rope?

Mule tape, I got some from a contractor and used my old handle.  Free and there is no way it's breaking by pulling up a trolling motor.  Tape up the exposed part because you don't want a hook stuck in it. 

Contractors normally throw it away once they have pulled what ever they are pulling through with it.

I found a rope at Lowes that has worked well for me for several years. Don't remember what it called though. (hmm)

I like this too but you need to be careful not to drop the handle......I bet it would do a number on a screen

Thanks @Bullet3119  (y)

I still have one spare rope for my TM, so it'll be a while before I have to replace it. But when I do, I may just go for the cable setup.

Get one and put it in your emergency kit. They are very simple to install.
And we all that the rope will break when we need it most.
