As
supplied, the snaps have a shape that tend to wrench the deck eyelets
out of the deck when tension is put on the lines. This occurs because
the centerline of the snap is not aligned in the direction of the
tension. A simple reforming of the snap wires into a rounded shape will
correct the problem. Better yet, a trip to the fishing section of
Wal-Mart or a tackle shop will yield a new set of snaps that already
have the rounded shape.
The picture at the right shows reformed
original snaps. Note that the centerlines are in line with the rigging
lines.
The
picture at the left shows new snaps from Wal-Mart that already have a
rounded shape.
