The lifelines on my Northcraft are sleeved in black 1/2" water hose.

That's exactly what I'm about to use on mine.

Do you actually need anything on the rope? Or is it to maintain the original appearance?

I used 6 mm rope and woven threaded hose pipe (unfortunately in green). Having the hose on makes it much easier to get back into the boat than rope alone.
