Rod Instructions
Rod installations are identical to swaged wire at this point.
Tip: To check amount of exposed thread, measure from top
of *hub extension and add
3 /

" (10 mm). The top of the turn-
buckle is 3 /

" (10 mm) below the top of the hub extension.
Clean excess Loctite and dirt from the foils. Be sure
that the adhesive has cured before raising the foil.
See page 7.
Tip: Be careful to clean Loctite from inside the foil
grooves - it may stain your sail.
Raise the unit and attach to the masthead toggle and
stemhead chainplate.
Tip: The foils are not fragile and will not collapse
under their own weight. Don’t let the unit catch
under deck fittings or scrape along the dock. Place
the lower end of system inside the lifelines before
the headstay is attached to the mast.
If the headstay is not long enough to reach the chain-
plate, check to be sure that the upper and lower studs
are open to the marks but do not open the turnbuckle
past the marks on the studs.
At no time should more than 3 1 /
2
" (89 mm) of thread
be exposed at either the top or the bottom of the
turnbuckle.
If the turnbuckle is open to the marks and it is still not
long enough, then a toggle must be added to lengthen
the headstay.
Tip: A headstay that looks short may be long enough
after the turnbuckle is tensioned to remove sag and
stretch.
