3. Knot one end of the (port) ckickenline to the
shockcord with two bowlines.

the outside hole at the upper gudgeon on port
side.
5. Feed the shockcord (where the port chickenline
is tied to) through the hole in the port endcap.

from top to bottom.
8. Pull the shockcord to the other side and feed it
through the 16mm block
from bottom to top.
9. Tie the starboard line with a bowline to the
shackle and install the shackle to the outside

10. Finally pull the shockcord diagonal to the
starboard side (at this point there is a lot of
tension on the shockcord) and knot it to the
starboard line with two bowlines, make sure you
feed the line through the endcap.
