![[Review] 2019 Slingshot Sentinel Control Bar](/img/n.gif)
Very helpful video!
You need 2 allen keys, there is a screw in the cleat block as well.
Warning: made a mistake and had to start over. When i tried to pull the cord back trough the swivel the white thingy @ the end came loose. The rope is useless now. So make sure everything is in order before you put it trough the swivel!
How can I adjust the depower cord in such a way there is less tension on my safety-line / CSS bungee? When completely powered my safety line (which is connected to my safety leash) is completely tensed. Sentinel 2017 (with the little trim block lock-screw)
After assembling as sugested, my trim rope splipped out through the part above the bar resulting in a long swim. How can I adjust it again so the rope knot locks in?
Yea that "knot" is pretty silly. The original trim line is stitched thicker so it cant pass back through the block.
Best bar on the market
I like this bar but have you used a Reedin, core or Ocean rodeo stickshift?
@@dereklm280 yes, still prefer this. 5 years and still going strong. Can't say that about Reedin or OR. Both crapped out after one year of use. PU tube is not for cold climate like Canada.
Line won’t go through hole on top of swivel ball.. any tricks?
I've got the same problem. Did you find a solution?
Need help on this as well
Deburring and some minor sanding worked out for me. Still a pain in the ass job, especially with a used rope that you want to adjust. This week I used hot cooking water to soften the rope/wax/plastic and a nose plier to pull it through.
Also while your at it, before installing any lines, debur sharp edges on your bar. This will make the lines last longer.
