familytruck Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Hi, I've just replaced the Diamond wires on my H18 mast and wondering what the correct tension is on them. If I press them towards the mast just above the tensioners, how much movement should there be? Thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John King Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 measure up from the bolt that goes through the mast secures diamond wires. Make a mark 12inches 24 inches and 36 inches. Now loosen or tighten the wires until you can press towards the mast and just about touch them on both sides of the mast. 36 being loose generally for light weight crews, and 12 inches which is tight. The tighter your wires the fuller your main the more power to drive the boat. It all depends on the wind strength / water conditions and crew weight as to which wire adjustment you have to make. I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
