Congrats to you and your crew! Did Rob indicate that the design issue you
mentioned was peculiar to your model or all C&Cs? Thanks

When I replaced ours in 2003 or so on our then '89 37XL, it was due to the
whole bottom pulley plate exit box failing, of course during a race, with full
spin up at night on the back side of Block Island! Still won and got the gun,
thanks to the under-deck autopilot.
When talking with Rob Ball, there were some design flaws as it is exposed to
open salt air, water etc. So, check that well when replacing the cables. We had
to remove the whole pedestal and re-tap as well. Good Luck!

I guess I was low-tech, I just took the old one to a rigging shop and said
please make another 😊

Rob,
FYI, I used Chain & Wire Kit - 2B2D9 (77201) for my replacement 4 years ago.
