Ken,
This is a good question that needs to be added to the manual in future
editions.
It's best to use the new method of installing the track on top of the step
(instead of between as shown in the manual). This was pointed out some time
ago in an email to the server.
When you start sanding (grinding) the part of the tract that rests on the
deck at the top of the step (leave about 2 1/2 inches on each side) you'll
want
to use the following method of determining the angle of tilt. You'll use
the two holes in the center of the track as a sight. They should intersect a
vertical line from the top center of the forestay fitting about 36" above the
top of the forestay flange. Another words, set a tape vertically on your
forestay fitting and sight past the 36" mark into the holes in the track. You
should see a full moon in each hole. If not, tip it until you do.
I thinking about Huntington Lake again this summer. Are you in for early
July (about a week of sailing)?
Best regards,
Bram
