drain plug cable

[Giantsfan]

Unfortunately I disconnected the cable that connects to the drain plug, the one that lets the plug hang there after you pull it so you don't lose track of it. Anyone have any ideas or experience retrieving that cable ?
Any thoughts would be appreciated !

did the same thing...I have a spool of stainless steel safety wire I keep on the boat....
I took some plyers and bent the end of the safety wire into a small hook.....then started fishing....it's sometimes a bear but it works.....
