Sam - I think the 194's are easier to adjust the angle on. From Matt's previous post:
Get the H194 lower and the Carbo upper H2640. Standard on new Hobie 16's.
We do not recommend the Carbo ratchet lower. It is a PITA to adjust the jaw angles.
After this last weekend, I have to strongly dissagree with the PITA, It took me all of 4 minutes to adjust the angle the first time and maybe 3 minutes the second time on the 2630. I did have to do it twice because the first time everybody suggested go 3 notches, when 2 was really enough.
Yes they are more expensive then the non-carbo, but the ratchmatic is real nice.
and with a becket on both top and bottom, I could rig it 6,7 or 8(w/added pully):1
Right now it is 7:1 and again, 46 or 48 feet of 9mm red Maffioli Swiftcord
Very very happy.
Sam
