[quote=MN3]the H18 system is hardly perfect. the old style (alum cams) was horrible. i broke the casting when the cam wouldn't release and i hit bottom.
the upgrade (new castings and plastic cams) was about $700 (excluding 20hours of labor).
it was a nice upgrade but expensive and as any Hobie sailor knows.. the plastic cams occasionally get locked down (usually at the worst time) and require a Hobie tool (and small holes drilled into the cams) to get the cam back up. It can be done with a screwdriver.. but you risk damaging the cams or the plastic tension controller.
I would try to work out the prindle system before you invest the time to change it out.[/quote]
