[C320-list] Garhauer Genoa EZ Glide Track System

[Jerry]

Ez glide setup
I have had my Ez glide for four years now. I didn’t rig a pull back line and it works great when not under load. I have had to install a strike plate to keep the standup block from hitting the gelcoat on the back end. When under load it goes forward just fine.
