Just wanted to see what everyone thought of the length of PVC Im using. It is contacting the hull all the way but was wondering if I should extend the length?

If your cross supports are 67" apart, then the PVC is just long enough.
On my PA-14, I have an extra 10-12" of PVC on either end.

One suggestion is to release/deploy both the rudder and tracking skeg, so the internal pulleys have the tension removed.

OK thanks..They are only 56" apart but I have room to move the rear support back another 15". The I could slide the boat back. If I do that I wont be able to deploy the rudder and skeg but I could just release the rope so there isnt any tension.

You could do something like this, with no PVC. I have stored this way every winter for three years.
