Determining Cable Length At Boat - Harken REFLEX FURLING Unit 1 Installation Manual

Assembly
Physical length determination at the boat - Use instead of measuring and referring to charts.
Moor the boat so you can reach the end of the sprit from the dock. Have the mast in forward setting for running;
use a halyard to pull the mast forward.
1. Dry-fit setup at boat: Hoist the head
swivel with cable installed to the top of the
mast. Bottom end of cable will be open, no
lower unit.
Install the tack swivel terminal on the drive
unit by pulling the locking spring pin and
slipping the T-foot of the terminal into the
T-slot in the drive unit.
2. Finding cut length: Attach the lower unit
assembly to the tack line or fixed bail and
pull the tack line all the way down. Slip the
bottom of the cable through the thimble in
the tack terminal. Pull the cable as tight as
you can by hand, and wrap a piece of
electrical tape where the cable
enters the thimble as a mark.
