MacGregor 26D Garland
Ok so the story is that I bought a 1990 Mac 26D about a month ago. It was in need of some TLC and I have been tackling things as I go. The current problem is that I’m pretty sure that the line to retract the dagger board is the original one from the factory. I’ve looked everywhere including YouTube and can’t find how to replace the line and I’m assuming a safety cable while sitting on a trailer. I found one but it must have been a different year because his came up through the top deck. Mine does not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
