I'm a new Hunter 170 owner. The stainless straps attaching the control line to the centerboard are all bent out of shape. They can't be in the right configuration.
The owners manual I found online line shows 2 stainless straps forming an oval with a stud holding the straps ends together at a fixed distance.
One end of the oval has a small shackle. What does the other end do? Does it go into the eyebolt on the centerboard? The current setup is attached to double ended snap hook that is attached to the eyebolt. How is is supposed to be setup? Are the straps supposed to hinge at the stud?
