Huh....that's how my boat is set up.
I thought you said your line was from the outer most part of the snuffer. The early version was to drill a hole in the outer most part of the snuffer ring then run a line from that hole to the forestay bridle. The problem was the snuffer ring was so thin the line would pull through and crack the snuffer. The newer version is to not drill the hole and run the line from the spin pole through the snuffer groove to the forestay bridle. I thought you were talking about the old version.
