Why don't you rig your own....
I don't own a hobie,. but I don't see why 500lb + 316 stainless wire rope won't work with copper crimps.
Or go heavy....just make sure the stainless is 316 and not 304. When I had a steering wheel on my canoe I used home depot plastic coated wire rope with clamps and plastic pulleys never had one problem.

Use stainless
Chafing clips instead of the fiber woven.
Check spec sheet get an OD on your cable and an ID on your crimp... Go one size over

You need to get a pair of cable cutters
To cut clean without fraying or you won't get the crimps to slide on the cable end. There cheap to on Amazon $11.00 good luck if you didn't live so far I would help you
