## Discrepancy

WATER RUDDER STEERING CABLES ARE FRAYED WHERE IT ENTERS THE SIDE OF THE FLOAT.  THE MAIN CAUSE OF THIS IS A MISALIGNMENT OF THE HOLE ON THE SIDE OF THE FLOAT TO THE ACTUAL POSITIONING OF THE RUN.  IN SOME CASES, THE CABLE HAD CUT A 1/4" SLOT ON THE FLOAT SIDE SKIN DUE TO THIS MISALIGNMENT.
