    Do NOT install a rope that is too short as that is the number one cause for broken ropes and subsequent broken recoil springs. Can’t remember the exact length for the OMC 18 off hand but it is just over 5 feet ( 60 some inches). Better to start with rope that is too long and then shorten until the arrow lines up with the mark. 4-5 feet is too short.
