I have this system and I use 1/4" 3 strand nylon.


Last night i woke up at 4:am ; was trying to think of a way
to place the jam cleat for your line, on a release of some-sort
that would let-go at a predetermined pressure ?

V-jam cleat with release cam. They have a little off-center disk on the bottom of the cleat that you can rotate which will fine-tune the release pressure. Falcon Marine used to use these on the F16 rudder systems (I'm not sure if they still do or not).
