I am attaching fore and aft lowers to the mast of a used boat. They aren't marked but one pair is 2" longer than the other pair. Are the fore shrouds longer than the aft shrouds? Advice appreciated.

Correction...its the other way around.
The Aft Lower Shroud is 1.5" longer than the Forward Lower Shroud.

Thanks Rich,
I called CD tech support and found the same information. It's cool when your answer is verified by other sailors. I appreciate your comments.
