Bill,
I pulled Rum Runner out of the water this weekend primarily to do so much 
needed maintenance, but also because the lake continues to drop and the water 
in the marina is very shallow. I also removed my bumpers from the dock and 
removed my expensive extension cord which I had run overhead and tied with 
cable ties. I installed this arrangement about a year ago. When I went to cut 
the cable ties, they simply disintegrated. One good pull and the whole thing 
came loose. I was surprised as they were not exposed to the sun, but 
certainly the heat. Based on what I saw, I would be very careful using cable 
ties for rigging.
