I just got my new 2012 Laser, race rigged. I would like to know the exact route the rudder downhaul line should take to the tiller, especially thru the bottom of the two horizontal rods or pins that connect the metal sides. It seems likely that the line needs to be aft of the top pin, but if it is aft of the bottom pin, then when the rudder is fully down, the line gets sandwiched between the pin and the rounded part of the rudder.
Also, I did get the Megabolt, but my rudder is so stiff to lower that even when the regular bolt is loose, it is difficult to raise and lower. Should I put the Megabolt aside for now? FYI, I plan to launch from my slip at the lake, so it isn't a problem locking the rudder in the down position.
