Center plate
Posted: Sat Apr 23, 2016 8:57 pm
We've Been out today and had a couple of problems.
First the center plate uphaul overrode and jammed. Quickly sorted but I seem to be missing a sheave to keep the rope central to the drum. I've jury rigged a shackle which will do for now.
The second problem is that the uphaul seems short and the plate doesn't bottom out. I assumed that it would come to a stop against the front of the slot. I've got 4 rounds on the drum and I'm thinking I might take one off to give more slack. Am I thinking down the right lines ?
