Hi,
I need to install a new clutch/stopper for a single-line reefing kit conversion kit. I've bought the standard single Rutgerson RC 750, for which there's enough space on the raised footplate on the coachroof (illustrated).
I've browsed the forum and the footplate has an aluminium plate sealed in, so theoretically this should be about drilling and tapping holes in that. Others have gone into the cabin (heads on my boat) below to put nuts and washers. I'd prefer not to remove headlining etc unless it's unavoidable
I wanted to ask those with experience what the do's/don'ts/bear in minds are before we break out the toolkit.
Thanks as always for assistance.
Adam
