Dolphin S200 cable replacement, swivel or not?

[ShinDiors]

My original cable has several places where the rubber snapped to certain extent. I'm wondering if the swivel version of the cable is worth the premium? Looks like the non-swivel version is $99, and the swivel version is $179. I've read several threads here saying the swivel did not help much about the cable twisting/kinks.

This is the correct model for swivel version right?

Did your non swivel cord tangle up on you? I only have experience with a swivel cord and I have had good luck with it not tangling much. When it does get a couple twists, I unplug the cord from the power supply after pulling the robot out of the water and lay it out on the deck and straighten it out. I always coil it up on my caddy the same way and it almost coils up by itself

SD,

The swivel 'helps' but certainly does not eliminate the tangle issue.

Taking the robot out and laying the cable out in a straight line in the sun works best. When I do that, I can feel that the cable is twisted in one direction. I then twist the cable in the other direction before putting the robot back in.

Thanks,

Jim R.

For the future reference, Called Marina and confirmed that 99958907-DIY would be the correct version for S200.
