Thanks for going into to some of that a bit further Keith.

You definitely could be right about the cleat on the rear beam. I had that on my 6.0 when I got it as 2nd owner, but adapted the system off of a site here, forgot which one, that had great pics of a system that does away with the bungie, and puts a jam cleat on the tiller arm. Then it uses an uphaul line, while still using the thing Nacras use, forgot the name of the pop up sleeve. You've problably had or seen this set up as well.

This will have him going in no time.
