Dutchman boom brakes

Post by Larry M »

I just purchased a Dutchman boom brake and see that there web page suggests a 40 foot line for set up on my cd33. That seems like a lot of line to go from the aft lower to boom and to the aft lower and back to the cockpit? Has anyone set this up on a cd? Also how did you do the attachments at the lowers? We were thinking of adding a stainless eye bolt in place of the lower pin in the turnbuckle. any thoughts?
