When fitting my new 609s furling system should it cover the turnbuckle or fit above the turnbuckle. Thanks for any assistance.
The Plastimo 609S furling system should be fitted with the reefing drum sitting above the turnbuckle. This setup ensures proper adjustment of the forestay tension and accommodates the longer link plates supplied with the turnbuckle system.
