Common Concerns Answered
I'm concerned about finding the correct #10 RH fasteners for installation. Can you provide guidance?
While #10 RH fasteners are specified, occasional difficulty in sourcing them may arise. It is recommended to check with reputable marine hardware suppliers or specialized fastener stores. Always ensure the fasteners are marine-grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance.
Will I need detailed instructions for installing this on my specific mast profile?
While installation is generally straightforward, some users desire more detailed diagrams for complex mast sections. Careful alignment with the Genoa halyard sheave is crucial; visual guides for common mast extrusions can be found online or by consulting with a qualified rigger if needed.
Is drilling into my mast a concern for the structural integrity of my vessel?
Drilling into the mast is a standard practice for mounting hardware, provided it is done correctly and with appropriate fasteners. The Schaefer Furler Pull Back Bracket/Haylard Restrainer requires minimal penetration. Ensure proper sealing of the drilled holes to prevent water ingress and use marine-grade fasteners for optimal strength.
