Beneteau First 375 Five Islands, Georgetown Maine
Hello. I recently took possession of 1986 First 375. The tie-rod that runs parallel to the mast, below deck, is broken. I have heard this called a panting rod and a parting rod and a tie-rod. It's the rod that helps prevent deck flex. I am looking for pics or diagrams or a description, of where this rod connects to either the mast or the step. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks very much. Chris
