Anybody have a good close-up photo of the recommended shackle/hole/shroud/trapeze wire order on the mast tang? The owner manual sketch isn't great, and there are two possible shackle holes on the tang that could be used. Thanks in advance!. |

Should be the same as most other models. The small hole at the bottom is for the main shackle pin. Holds all of the standing rigging. The small hole at the top is for the trapeze shackle pin... the hoop of the shackle passes through the larger center hole. Trap wires hang on each side of the tang. |

Thanks Matt - the image in the manual seems to show that, just the accompanying text in the table didn't clarify. Another item: What's the aluminum strip/bit taped with orange tape to the rear crossbar beside the traveler cleat on page 12 of the manual? I can't figure out what it is and where it goes!! Lastly: Mast has to be rotated 90 deg to raise and lower, right (there's a notch in the mast cup that would suggest this)? |

I am told that the tape is holding a part called a "loader" for removing or installing the traveler car onto the track. You line up at the end of the track and slide the car onto it. It keeps the bearings from falling our of the car. Yes, 90 degrees going up or down so the slot lines up with the striker post. |
