Rigging, ATTACHmenT To LoWeR UniT
If no turnbuckle is required, attach the rod marine eye directly
to the integral toggle on the 2.5.
If a turnbuckle is required, it must terminate in a marine eye
that will fit directly to the integral toggle. Use a Navtec C560
turnbuckle or similar for rod with either a
5

or

" (19mm) pin diameter.
■
ReTRoFiTS, FiTTing Rod
If you plan to reuse the existing rod and turnbuckle:
Lower end—
If you are using a standard Navtec turnbuckle
with integral toggle, the lower body must be replaced with a
standard Navtec marine eye body. Check to make sure that
this eye will mate with the Harken integral toggle. Two cross
pin sizes are available. They are the same size as the clevis
pin. See above.
Upper end
—You must take apart the marine eye so that you
are left with a threaded nosepiece. Check to see if this is pos-
sible. If necessary, contact Navtec or Riggarna for correct pro-
cedure. You will slip carbon foils over this threaded nosepiece.
If you cannot remove this fitting you will need to cut the rod.

Note: When cutting rod to length or making up new rod, make
sure that you can take apart the rod terminal (usually the top
eye) so that you are left with a threaded nosepiece.
Make up the rod headstay or adjust the turnbuckle so the
Harken toggle fits below the rod terminal eye. The pin-to-pin
distance of the Harken toggle is 3
