Preassembly

Foil Length

Line up bottom foil so foil clamp is

centered or just below center of

notches in bottom foil.

Confirm foil length by laying foils alongside stay with turnbuckle components. Pull stay out so it is straight. Attach

Harken toggle to bottom of stay using crosspin. Adjust turnbuckle so that length of stay with Harken toggle will fit

boat. Ideally, turnbuckle will be half to two-thirds open to allow for rig adjustment.
Line up lower unit so base of unit lines up with toggle housing.
Attach one link plate to lower unit. Line up lower unit so link plate hole lines up with crosspin in Harken toggle.

Make sure toggle is tensioned when measuring.

Note: Position top foil so that with top

cap the foil will ride about 3" (76 mm)

below terminal. If wire fitting at top of stay

is swage, foil must ride just below shoulder

of swage. Mark cut line on foil. Wrap tape

around foil as a guide so cut is straight.

Determine where cylinder will ride when

sailing. Shown fully closed.
