Which Model Cable Tensioner for a Hunter 23

[Monoceros2]

All-

Being a novice, I was not aware that I was supposed to use a tension gauge when rigging our new Hunter 23. It was suggested that I look into Loos models, but I am not sure which one is the best for my application?

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks again-

Ryan

if you go to the loos site it may tell you what size you need by the cable size on your boat

I have a 23 and don't use a gauge (if I had one I'd use it, but they are quite pricey).

I just follow the tightening/centering procedure (uppers first, then lowers) and do it by feel - if I can pull on the shroud and it moves maybe a half inch or so, I stop. I do check the leeward shrouds when I first sail with enough wind, and so far I have not seen any looseness.

Dave Condon has published more details on the procedure.
