INSTALLATION:
THE BOW SPRIT FITTING IS DESIGNED TO BE REMOVED FOR TRAILERING OR NON-USE BY
REMOVING THE SET SCREWS IN THE SOCKETS AND UNSHACKLING THE WIRE TAIL FROM
THE BOW EYE. THE BOW SPRIT WILL HAVE A LITTLE PLAY IN THE ASSEMBLY WHEN THE
SPINNAKER IS NOT SET. THE ASSEMBLY WILL FLEX DOWNWARD BUT WILL BECOME
TAUGHT AS THE SPINNAKER FILLS AND THE WIRE TAIL COUNTERACTS THE UPWARD
FORCE. DO NOT USE THE BOW SPRIT TO PICK THE BOAT UP OR MANUVER THE BOAT
AROUND...AND DO BE CONSCIOUS OF ITS OVERHANG WHEN DOCKING THE BOA T!
1. PLACE THE BOW SPRIT ON THE BOW OF THE BOAT ABOVE THE PROFILE SUCH THAT THE
CENTER MOUNTING HOLE ON THE BOW SPRIT IS ALIGNED WITH THE STEM HEAD FITTING.
THE BOW STRAP SHOULD BE MOUNTED APPROXIMATELY 1/4" TO 1/2" ABOVE THE PROFILE
SO THAT THE SET SCREWS IN THE SOCKETS DO NOT BOTTOM OUT ON THE PROFILE. THE
BOW STRAP IS FLEXIBLE AND INWARD PRESSURE SHOULD BE APPLIED WHEN LINING UP
THE SPRIT TO ASSURE THE "BEST" FIT TO THE CONTOUR OF THE BOW. MARK THE CENTER
HOLE IN THE BOW STRAP AND THE 4 HOLES IN THE SOCKET FITTINGS. THE GOAL IS TO
MOUNT THE SPRIT LEVEL AND WITH AS LITTLE GAP AS POSSIBLE BETWEEN THE BOW STRAP
AND THE BOW OF THE BOAT. PRE-DRILL THE HOLES WITH THE 1/16" DRILL BIT AND APPLY A
VERY GENEROUS AMOUNT OF SEALANT AROUND THE PILOT HOLES AND THE ENTIRE BOW
STRAP SURFACE. SCREW IN THE FOWARD MOUNTING SCREW AND SNUG THE SCREW.
INSTALL THE 4 AFT SCREWS IN A SIMILAR FASHION. AGAIN, THE GOAL IS TO MOUNT THE
STRAP AS FLUSH AND SNUG TO THE BOW AS POSSIBLE.
3. MOUNT THE TACK LINE BLOCK ON THE STARBOARD DECK AT THE LOCATION PER THE
PREVIOUS PAGE, BY PRE DRILLING AND CAULKING THE HOLES.
4. MOUNT THE 4 BULLET BLOCKS WITH SPRINGS IN GIVEN LOCATIONS.
5. MOUNT THE SPINNAKER HALYARD BLOCK TO THE MAST 4" BELOW THE GOOSENECK
ON EITHER THE STARBOARD OR PORT SIDE OF THE MAST.
6. ATTACH THE RATCHET BLOCKS TO THE CENTER OPENING OF THE AFT MOORING CLEAT
AT POSITION LOOPING THE LANYARD THROUGH THE BLOCK AND CLEAT SEVERAL TIMES
TO AVOID EXCESSIVE CHAFFING OF THE LINE.
THE SPINNAKER HALYARD IS LEAD TO THE SWIVEL BLOCK ON THE MAST ABOVE THE
UPPERS AND JIB A TTA CHMENT. THE TACK LINES RUN FROM THE CLEAT, THROUGH THE
BLOCK ON THE TIP OF THE SPRIT AND TO THE TACK OF THE SAIL. THE SPINNAKER
SHEETS ARE CONTINUOUS AND RIGGED PER THE PREVIOUS DIAGRAM.
