will bother it but you will have less performance out of it due the lower height. I'd be temped to do it SG's way. After all, you pay quite a premium for the extra performance of the Tri Lens- why hobble it with a lesser location? I have a Davis that I carry on a flag halyard but I'm not totally satisfied with that either. I'm always concerned that it will chafe the line through just about the time I'll need it most.
