When I bought my new/old 1980 Montauk all it had was a bungee cord wrapped around the gas cans and z bar legs. Need someone to advise me of proper placement and hold down options. Thanks Brunot

I have the damn flu/cold that going around and pissed off that I can not work on the boat. First time I have ever done something like this but am having a great time. Thnanks for all your help and assistance from other BW people. Thanks Brunot
