[quote=Edchris177](2) The shroud does not clip directly to the hull fitting. You need a 10 hole adjuster on each side. This allows mast rake, rig tension, without the shrouds having to be an exact length.
The small fork,(single hole) end of the adjuster connects to the hull fitting with a short clevis pin/ring ding.
The end of the shroud goes inside the long ends of the adjuster, & is held by a second pin.
Pin both sides, & raise mast. Have a helper hang on a trap line,pulling mast to one side. Now move that pin down a hole or two to tension the rig. I keep a small screwdriver handy when doing this on the 5.0, in case you drop the pin in the lake/sand. The screwdriver allows you to quickly "safe" the mast.
Look in the assembly manual,(the newer one that has a birds eye photo of two guys sailing) Item 42 shows how it all rigs.

It is cheaper to have a thimble on both ends of the shroud, vs a thimble at top, & and swaged eye at bottom, but the white rubber sleeve that slides down to cover the fittings will not slide over a thimble.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by Edchris177 on Nov 20, 2015 - 02:38 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
