## Discrepancy

DURING 100-HOUR INSPECTION, FOUND TRIM CABLE TENSION AT ZERO.  RECORDS REVEALED TRIM CABLES HAD BEEN ADJUSTED TO PROPER TENSION AT THE PREVIOUS 100-HOUR INSPECTION.  FOUND THE 1.25 INCH DIAMETER PULLEY ON THE RIGHT SIDE IN THE TOP OF THE TAIL CONE JUST BELOW THE DORSEL FIN, WAS SPLIT IN TWO.  SUBMITTER SUGGESTS THERE APPEARS TO BE SIGNS OF DELAMINATIONS SOAKED WITH LUBRICANTS.
