We removed the port side lower aft shroud first.  We installed a Sta-Loc Eye terminal on the 5/16 inch spool of wire and measured it for length to cut the new wire.  The wire was cut at 15 feet 8 inches, shorter than the 18 feet estimated and purchased.  The original wire eye-to-eye length was about 16 feet 7 inches.  A Sta-Loc Stud terminal was installed on the end of the wire and screwed into the new turnbuckle.  It was then installed aboard with new 1/2 inch clevis pins.

We removed the starboard side lower aft shroud next.  This wire was cut at 15 feet 7.5 inches. A Sta-Loc Stud terminal was installed on the end of the wire and screwed into the new turnbuckle.  It was then installed aboard with new 1/2 inch clevis pins.

We removed the port side lower forward shroud next.  We installed a Sta-Loc Eye terminal on the 5/16 inch spool of wire and measured it for length to cut the new wire.  The wire was cut at 16 feet 1 inch, shorter than the 18 feet estimated and purchased.  The original wire eye-to-eye length was about 17 feet 1 inch.  A Sta-Loc Stud terminal was installed on the end of the wire and screwed into the new turnbuckle.  It was then installed aboard with new 1/2 inch clevis pins.

We removed the starboard side lower forward shroud next.  This wire was cut at 16 feet 1 inches. A Sta-Loc Stud terminal was installed on the end of the wire and screwed into the new turnbuckle.  It was then installed aboard with new 1/2 inch clevis pins.

As noticed previously on initial inspection, the port side lower shroud wire eye terminals were obstructed from proper movement and contacting the mast step.  This mast step was removed to correct this issue.
