Hi, Are you able to take a bunch more photos of your set up such up close, rear section and everything in one pic? Anything that you would differently next time?
Thanks!
Yes, I will take a bunch more of close up pics on my setup. I just need to figure out how to dump more pics or create an album for the link.
I now have my lynx upside down for hull protection trim molding underneath that i' m installing.
In the meantime, I've painted my fairlead wood block white and will reshaping it make it look nicer for a final install. Also, will add a foam gasket in between the wood and the hull to create a seal from water intrusion. I could not find the #14 stainless screws. Just manage to get the typical metal/wood #14 from Home depot. I will will also scotch tape over the recessed screw head for water intrusion. Since the aft section is not long enough to reach the rear tie down, I added an extra cord with a loop to reach the hook. The recommended 5" from the manual is too tight. I went with 7" or so and that was much easier to manage the furler. Also, I just got the recommended shackle/pulley for the sail kit. The D ring at the back works but you can feel braided notches in the line. I figured the shackle/pulley will make the main sheet feel much smoother. I also need to add additional wind tail on the top of the mast to see where the wind direction is coming from.
I didn't think sailing the lynx would get me this excited compared to the fishing. Now, all I can think is going sailing again! So, I think I've figured everything out including cleating the main sheet for hands free sailing...so I can fish
I'm going to bring my rod next time and troll while I sail. What a combo!
