Thanks, I will try that - perhaps tasking a tip from Tim and try taking them 30 degrees forward so they are less likely to dig into ones back!

Jonathan, sounds like yours are off by 180 degrees. Remove the center ring using your gas key, lift up the drum and tailer, rotate and lover it back into place and tighten the ring.

The line comes off the winch into the cockpit when grinding and you can easily see where to hook it over when stacking. No complaints about back pain to date, but they are smaller than your primaries an therefore set back a little more from the coaming. > > Tim > Mojito > C&C 35-3 > Branford, CT > > On Sep 11, 2013, at 8:00 AM, Indigo <ind...@thethomsons.us> wrote: > >> Needing advice on whether I should adjust the primary self tailing winches on Indigo (35III) >> >> My primaries are set closest to the helm - this I do not intend to change as it makes for easier short- handed sailing. However the "finger" (sorry don't know the correct name for it!) that leads the sheet into the jaws are positioned so they point outboard on both starboard and port winches. My pretty inexperienced crew often find it difficult to make a clean release when tacking, and I was wondering if there was a better position for the "finger". I cruise also, so am thinking that placing them inboard might cause them to inflict pain in the backs of folks sitting in the cockpit! >> >> >> Would be grateful if other 35Iii owners could please let me know how they have set up their primaries? >> >> -- >> Jonathan >> Indigo C&C 35III >> SOUTHPORT CT >> _______________________________________________ >> This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album >> http://www.cncphotoalbum.com >> CnC-List@cnc-list.com > > _______________________________________________ > This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album > http://www.cncphotoalbum.com > CnC-List@cnc-list.com _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
