MKIV Ocean Unit 3
Assembly
Top Foil
The following instructions cover installing foils on stay
starting from the bottom. Foils slide over a swage stud fitting
or wire end where a Norseman-/Sta-Lok
®
-type stud is used
after foil assembly.
Tip:
In some cases foils can slide over a marine eye. This
allows other assembly options:
• Assembly from both ends for faster assembly
• Over a marine eye located on the bottom of the stay
• From the top if lower terminal is part of turnbuckle
Check fit of marine eye before proceeding.
This will
generally work with smaller wires within the unit's rigging
specifications.
Place halves of trim cap over wire and
insert into top foil. Use a small hammer to
tap in place if necessary.
Tip: With foil groove up, have
screw holes on the upper half.
Install self-tapping trim cap screws.
