■ CHECK FOIL LENGTH
Once the foils and lower unit are assembled, use a winch
handle to close the stay adjuster. Turn the handle in a
clockwise direction.
Check the clearance between the top of the foil and top
terminal.
TIP: Check clearance when the unit is on the ground,
before raising the headstay into position.
Assembly Foil Length Check
NOTE: A swage eye terminal will be recessed into the top foil.
Check to make sure the top of the foil is not jammed on the
“eye” of the marine eye.
It is the responsibility of the rigger to check clearance.
WARNING!: It is critical to have clearance
between top foil and top rigging fitting when stay
adjuster is in fully closed position. If fittings touch,
unit will jam or in the case of a Sta-Lok fitting,
terminal may unscrew. This could cause a cata-
strophic spar failure which may cause an accident,
damage to your vessel, personal injury or death. See
