Is there a sort of limit on how these should be listed? The medium and thick
string is easy enough to untie from my experience, but when it comes to the thin
string

 
Part No: x77a  Name: String, Cord Thin (Undetermined Length)
* 
x77a String, Cord Thin (Undetermined Length)
Parts: String & Net

I have found it nearly impossible to untie this string from parts without damaging
the string.

So the question is what parts would be considered an acceptable counterpart?
There are some assemblies I imagine may not be counted as so, such as the drawbridge
string in Black Monarch's Castle (The string is tied to two pieces with various
pieces caught up in the middle) and the hook string in a few of the vintage pirate
ships (this is often strung through one of the mast segments)

I have noticed a few parts that have counterparts listed already, such as these
pieces:
 
Part No: 2584  Name: String Reel 2 x 2 Holder
* 
2584 String Reel 2 x 2 Holder
Parts: String Reel / Winch
 
Part No: 73037  Name: String Reel Winch 2 x 4 x 2 (Light Gray Drum)
* 
73037 String Reel Winch 2 x 4 x 2 (Light Gray Drum)
Parts: String Reel / Winch

One part that I think should be listed as a stringed counterpart would be this
one:
 
Part No: 2614  Name: Minifigure, Utensil Fishing Rod / Pole, 12L
* 
2614 Minifigure, Utensil Fishing Rod / Pole, 12L
Parts: Minifigure, Utensil

There are two strings that come with this set, a shorter string for the fishing pole and a longer one for the crane. Judging from the information in the above two links I believe these two lengths are correct for this set, however I do not own it new and have no further evidence of the length of the actual length of the two strings. If anyone owns this set new and could confirm, it would be appreciated.

I actually have the set () but I got it when I was 4 or 5 years old and played
a lot with it at that time so I cannot guarantee that my parts are still original.
The short string has been replaced many years ago but I just checked the long
string as that seems to be original and it has a lengh of about 77cm.

Awesome! Thank for your help, I appreciate it. I received the set used recently
and both the fishing pole and the crane winch are missing, so here I am figuring
out the lengths hehe. I will get it back 100%

I always wanted some of these diver sets when I was a kid, the one I had was
Shark Attack with the 3 sharks

Those lenghs on peeron are in studs, not in cm.
The short string is shown in the instructions with a lengh of 20cm.

The long string is most likely
 
Part No: x77ac75  Name: String, Cord Thin    75cm
* 
x77ac75 String, Cord Thin 75cm
Parts: String & Net
as this part has already been confirmed in several other Divers sets.

Oh no! My mistake, I will delete this request and submit a new one. Thank you
for pointing that out.
