I'm not an engineer, just a car salesman...after all this intellectual discussion have we determined a: if this thing works? and 2: is there a reason nobody is using the screws that come with the righting system?

I just bought one of these things, thought it looked "cleaner"

than the righting line around my neighbors hobie, BUT if the jury is still out on the merit of this thing I'm not going to mess around installing it.

Another thought...if I understand Ed's post, part of the problem is mounting it aft of the dolphin striker instead of to either side of it... as my 17 supercat doesn't have a d/s, I'm thinking I won't have that problem.

Any thoughts ?
