| Post subject: | Easy Rite Installation |
Bought an H16 that I've glassed, expoxyed & painted has an easy rite rope. I see on web sites how it goes aroung the 4 posts on the hulls. Curious as to how to attach to the aft end. Looks like there's a stainless ring & small 1/8 rope on web site. How is this attached to the easy rite rope / bungee & where does it attach to the back of the cat? Easy rite rope/bungee is tied to grommets on the tramp (back end) & I know that's not right. From looks of things it appears as though it should be secured to hole for rudder post? LMK. Thanx! |

The ring is for the 17-18 installation. Best to tie off back at the rudders. We used to drill a small hole in the lip next to the rudder (outboard) and tie a 3/16 or 1/4 line (short length) that then tied to the larger righting line. Otherwise... simply tie around the aft pylons. |

Cool. I'll drill in the lip outboard of the rudder post & attach as mentioned. Thanx! |

Just make sure that you not only go around all four posts but that you also go outside the shrouds. If you don't, you won't be able to pull it out enough to right the boat. |

You don't have to pull out over the hull... which is rather difficult. Easier to just reach up and pull down through the two pylons. That means you would route inside the shroud. We have done some testing. The righting weight required is the same either way. The difference is in how much compression is on your body. Routed over the hull is less compression, but both offer nearly identical rotational effort which is what is required for righting. When righting, you are pulling down on the upper hull, but also pushing the bottom hull with your feet. |

Matt, When I bought my boat in '85 the line was already rigged by the dealer outside the shrouds. I never questioned it but what you say makes sense. It would make it easier to reach. Thanks for the information. |
