Aft-Lowers: It there a set-up proceedure that seems to work in tensioning the under-deck support cables for the aft-lowers...the ones that run from under the deck to the bulkhead. If they are too lose, its difficult to maintain a consistant tension in the aft-lowers, the deck will be pulled up/develop cracks and leaks will occur. I don't know what will happen it they are too tight. Will the deck crack in that situation also? Will the fitting leak also? I experienced some water leakage at the aft-lower deck fittings during the "windless" Nationals and before I attempt to seal the fittings, I'd like to know how to set them up. It would be nice to set up these suport cables and not to touch them when I adjust the aft-lowers for specific races.
