Re: cable adjustment

I was having the same problem, I even read the above article (about 5 times) If anything it just confused me even more. the way I finally got it perfect was to take it on the lake and mess with it for about 2 hours, you would be surprised at how much difference 1 turn of the barrel will make. and since you have about 200 turns on the thread, guess what :D just spend some time with it and you will get it. I know that was not much help but my advice is to just get it "close" and then make 1 turn at a time.
