Hey MH 17
I suspect your H 17 has a vinyl trap,...does it?

The mesh tramps are little 'quicker'. Do you have a harness that is mesh on-the-butt- too? If so,....when 'mesh meets mesh', you are positioned for 'lift off'!

I had this happen to me,..went back to the fabric harness (with leather seat}

Once, I cleaned the I-17 to the max,..which included cleaning the tramp with mild soap,....BIG MISTAKE!!!! For, that thing was a'slip-and-slide' for about the next 5 sails,.....I could not rinse out the soap!,....I would be sailing and just be amazed how my tramp would suds up.....never again! [we are talking salt water too]

the I-20,...no comparison,...a true ocean going cat,....enjoy!
