Hobie 20 Travler Maintenance. Harken Data Mismatch my case.

Upon removing my traveler, I found that this information was incorrect for my case. 

Installed Torlon/Delrin Balls are 8mm for me, not 6mm

End Caps cracked on both sides, but still retail balls. 
Replacement parts $22 for both sides - quite a profit margin for Harken: 

  • Data from Harken - I found ball size incorrect. 
  • 22mm Track
  • Qty 21, 6mm Delrin Balls  (Mine are closer to ~8mm diameter)
  • Harken Traveler https://gallery.harken.com/gallery/travelersquickserviceonline.pdf
