Dave,

I cant remember the exact set up, the upper assemble is tied around the bolt goes through the mast.

Take a flashlight and take a look at what you are dealing with once you get the mast base off. I dont remember it being that hard.

Im pretty sure the bolt goes through an internal collar, but I might be confusing my Acat downhaul with the HT. If there is a collar, make sure you put it back in to spread the load on the bolt. 16 to 1 could bend a bolt and tear it out of the mast if the load isnt spread across the bolt.


Rudders holes, I use colored electrical tape, I filled the ones on the side of the rudder and dagger and put them on the top, so that I can leave the foils upside down to drain any water that gets inside.
