Ungawa to All:
I am re-installing my stabilizers and have a question. Which vane goes on which side of the boat? I took pictures of most of the stuff when I bought the boat 4 years ago, but none of them are any help now as I had a case of "new boat owner" then. Each of the paravanes has a zinc attached on one of the wings; one is attached to a stbd wing, the other vane has one on the port wing. My guess is the vane with the zinc on the stbd wing would be in the water on the stbd side of the boat, as the drag from the zinc would tend to slightly turn the vane to the outside of the boat which would be a good thing.
All thoughts appreciated, Happy Easter.
