| Post subject: | TI seat adjustment |
A simple problem, but I've not yet found a solution. The seat adjustment straps on my '14 TI will pull up and provide a nice erect seating position. Gradually, while sailing, the adjustable straps get wet and the seat starts to tilt backward until it is almost in a reclining position. When the straps are dry they hold their position, but once wet and with weight pushing back on the seats, the straps start to lengthen. Has anyone else experienced this problem ? Solutions ? thanx, bill |

Here is a link to a post on this subject along with a link to the buckles I use. If you read the post, some have had less positive results as I, but mine have never slipped in the (at least) 3 years I have been using them. http://www.hobiecat.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=75&t=44658&hilit=+buckle#p189169 |
