Here are two pictures for you,
The positioning is based on measurements taken from a new '07 and from what the fatory told the dealer.
One picture shows the old eye strap aft of the new one which has the ratchet block on it now.

Can anyone send a pic or diagram of the new mount point for the spin blocks? Even measurements would help i want to relocate my old style blocks for the new spins. Thanks |

Spinnaker blocks on my 2006 Tiger with "new" spinnaker cut attach via shackles to a loop of line between two grommets along the side edge of the trampoline, approximately even with the front of the daggerboard trunk. If you would like to see a photo, I guess you can send a message to me with your email address, and I'll email it to you? Or, tell me where on the Web I can post the photo? (I don't know of anyplace, after looking a bit.) Or how? If the measurements would be helpful, let me know, and I'll swing by the storage yard to measure. |

In addition; you can reach your arm down the forward inspection port, reaching aft. On one side of the daggerboard well you will find a small bracing. The bracing will only be on one side or the other of the daggerboard well. Just forward of this is where you want to have the eye-strap bolts. |

I'm finally going to permanently mount my spin blocks in the new position. I'm also going to remove the eye straps from their original spot, fill in the holes and re-mount. My question is what is the thru-hull backing for the original eyestraps? Is it nuts and washers or an imbedded, tapped plate? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks. John

When I did mine I drilled the holes and then backed it with a stainless plate. Once everything fit I sika flexed the plate in place and tightened up the bolts. I left the old eyes in place. |

Rich, I did an inspection (using a mirror and flashlight) through the forward port of the inside of the hull to see where/how the original spin eyestrapes are mounted. There is a backing plate that the screws thread into. But that backing plating straddles a bulkhead. Have you experienced any cracking or weakness after you re-located yours? How big was your backing plate? Just curious. Thanks, John

3" by 2" stainless thin enough to bend into shape. then I used washers to hold the plate. I have seen no effects on the deck area. |
