On the shrouds I went down 2 holes and on the forestay I went down 3. I think I could actually go one more all around but I'm not sure how tight they should be, true be told. It's also hard to tell how much the mast is raked unless it's in the water. I used it yesterday this way and it was fine (no weather helm at all). I'm just going to experiment with it I guess.
Fingers crossed but I haven't had ANY problems with the traveler. I squirt in McLube about every other time I go and I make sure it doesn't slam the ends of the rail but other than that...... Could it be a different one than yours since my boat is a 1991 5.5SL?
