We removed the port side intermediate shroud first by cutting the wire right above the turnbuckle stud terminal. Then went up the mast and removed the cotter and clevis pin from the eye terminal. The wire was then pulled upwards through the spreader end and then removed from the boat. We then installed a Sta-Loc Eye terminal on the 1/4 inch spool of wire and measured it for length to cut the new wire. The wire was cut at 29 feet 11 inches, shorter than the 32 feet estimated and purchased. The original wire eye-to-eye length was about 30 feet 11 inches. The wire with the Sta-Loc Eye terminal was then attached up the mast with new clevis and cotter pins. The non-terminated end of the wire was then routed thru the spreader end and a Sta-Loc Stud terminal was installed on the end of the wire and screwed into the new turnbuckle. It was then installed with new 1/2 inch clevis pins. This process was repeated for the starboard side intermediate shroud. Both port and starboard side intermediate shroud wires were of the same length.
As noticed on initial inspection the port intermediate shroud wire is contacting a mast step. This minor issue can be rectified by removing and lowering the position of the mast step on the mast. The installation of the new port intermediate shroud wire exhibits this same issue.
