Paul, Thank you very much for the information. I’ll contact them today. I’m thinking its just the fitting at the actual keel as I can’t pull the actual line up so I think the loop is still attach, or the loop is no longer a loop but the swagging is still attached and not able to pul through the hole.
Thanks again.
