Wayne, I have installed mine as well (several weeks ago). It has worked great for me too. I think everyone should consider getting one. I see you attached the extra line using hog rings and a knot. I attached it using a sheet bend. Works great too. I would discourage anyone from replacing the entire centerboard line instead. That is a real nuisance and not worth the effort!
