Default Rub rail rope

I have an 86 V20 with a rubrail of rope. I'm not much up on what was standard equipment. Does anyone know the size of the rubrail rope? It looks to be 1/2" 3 strand nylon.

On my V 18 I was able to take the rope out and put it in the opposite way. The inside of the rope was still like new, just needed a little cleaning.

Its 5/8 poly I think. Not nylon.

Good idea turning it around....I think I'll do that this spring.
