I am stringing my trampoline on my Nacra 5.0 and I am looking for any tips or tricks. This is my First cat so I am not sure how to do it to get it tight.

Any help would be apreciated.
Thanks
Chris

Unless I am looking at the wrong thing the description in there is vague and for the wrong boat. I have eyelets on the back of my tramp and slugs on my rear beam. Also it does not really explain the best way to get it as tight as possible.
I am sure I could get something adequate but I would like to make it as good as possible.

Thanks

Here's the page in the original manual that describes installing a tramp like you describe. Doesn't seem to be any special technique other than pulling the line tight.

Installing a Nacra Tramp

One thought, you do have the 3/4" pvc tube installed in those eyelets at the back of the tramp?
