Teflon length?

[Don Templeton]

I'm ready to install the stuffing tube in my .12 rigger and could use

some input.

The Octura .130 strut is mounted on the inside of the transom and

is put together in reverse so that the nose piece is on the long end

of the strut tube and the rear of the strut extends only about

1/16" beyond the transom. The distance between where the brass

stuffing tube fully clears the bottom and the nose piece is 3 1/2".

For ease of adjustment, I would like to run the teflon tube about

2 1/2" before it enters the brass tube.

Is the too long?

Also, is .130 cable OK? I could go .150 but really don't want to.

Thanks

well don I know the world record .12 rigger record was set with .125 .... i used 150 for safety myself... I always run brass on brass.... no teflon... but 2-2/12" sounds too long to me
