Has anyone had issues with the fixed cable running from the tower and down through the hull coming lose? I first noticed this after purchase and attempted to fix it but after a few short runs the nuts manged to work themselves loose again.

Would you happen to have a picture or schematic or part number? That would worry me, and maybe something I should be checking.

It happened to me. The first time we just used the original nuts again, but they quickly worked free again. The second time, we replaced the nuts they used for lock nuts. They have not budged since.
