Using Shock Cord to Pull Lazy Jacks Outward
We recommend shock cord to hold Lazy Jacks open to make it easier to raise sail.
1. Attach shock cord to end of lower spreaders. Hog rings work well for this purpose.
Use rigging tape over hog rings.
2. Temporarily tie other end of shock cord to Lazy Jacks at a length that holds Lazy
Jacks out, but not so short that spreaders will be damaged when boom is swung out.
3. Test length by swinging boom all the way out. If necessary, lengthen shock cord
before permanently attaching to Lazy Jacks.

Installing Adjuster Cleat
Choose a place for adjuster cleat. Drill holes using 5 /

cleat using #10 x 1 1 /
4
" flathead sheet metal screws (included).
Tip: Once you have threaded the screws into boom, remove them
and file off ends so they do not interfere with internal boom lines.
