These were the ball and socket style ones. Ball got worn from years of vibration and socket part (end of cable) fell off.
I've had the end fall off of the engine with cable controls several times throughout the years........one time, thank God I was in the ocean...
Yes, the glass is very strong. But the problem is glass like what's installed on yacht hulls doesn't flex, it's rigid, yet the surrounding hull...
It's an Ocean 43' sportfish. my guess is to keep fishing lines off of the tabs. With some owners it only takes losing fish to 1 thing for them...
