I am back to working on my prowler build finally and i have come up with a couple of questions.

1: The space between the transom and ferrule, how much space should be in between them? I know there needs to be bit of space so the strut can be adjusted.

2: I have one of those Teflon lined stuffing tubes and i need to bend it some. It does not need much of a bend in it but is there a chance of the cable getting tight in the bend due to the tube wanting to flatten out when you bend it?

Thanks every one,
Goesman
