I find the original system rather cumbersome when sailing with a guest. and have been thinking about modding it. so maybe the previous owners went ahead and did that.

On either side of the inspection port/hatch are 2 grommets on the tramp, your bungee/shock cord runs through those grommets under the tramp, attached to the tramp tie-down cords are 2 blocks either side, shock cord runs through blocks, attach to trap wires,if you not too sure how dog-bones are attached to trap wire, PM me and I will send you pics.

I have a P-18 and had troulbe with the shock cords fraying and breaking. It was suggested that instead of a straight run across the boat that the shock cords be run under the tramp to a pulley near the back beam. This gives you extra give in the cord due to the increased lenght. Please see the post titled "Shock cords for harness wires on P-18 fraying/breaking" posted on July 19, 2010 as the info on that post was a lot of help to me

In the above diagram the dotted line across the tramp indicates the cord pass through the grommets and going under the tramp. Adding a block near the back beam can allow for longer shock cords to allow for your long flight times around the forestay. I have had my shock cord for about 3 years and have had no degradation at all in it. The cord you are using may not be as good in the sun as mine. Unfortunately I don't know what kind it is. It is black. I think I bought it from Pete Begle so he might know.
