Well, the first signs of Spring are appearing in Iowa (too bad for the ice fishermen ); time to start getting the C14.2 ready for the season. I have a '93 Mod 2 with the original shrouds that are showing some signs of wear, so the first thing on my "to do" list was to replace them. I was a little surprised when they arrived from Catalina Direct yesterday to find that they weren't plastic covered. Not that that makes any difference in performance, and I suppose it could be a good thing (no mysteries about their condition under the plastic), but it did surpise me. Does anyone know when Catalina switched to the bare cables? I suppose it was a cost-containment move on their part ("decontenting" as they say in the auto industry ).
