If your internal outhaul rig is anything like mine there is a becket on each block, and it will probably be rigged similar to the Harken 5:1 internal outhaul shown here: http://www.harken.com/content.aspx?id=3910 The becket on the after block has a ss wire attached and that wire gets shackled fast to the clew outhaul cringle on the main sail. I changed the line on the internal outhaul on my 35 MKII a few years back, used 3/8 inch low stretch braid. That line now exits bottom of boom just aft of gooseneck and from there to a turning block at base of mast and then through deck organizer to Lewmar clutch and winch on cabin top beside companionway. Before I led the clew outhaul control line to the cockpit it exited stbd side of boom, about 3 feet aft of gooseneck and was tensioned with a winch (#10 low rise Barient I think) and secured with a cam cleat. I no longer carry a winch handle at the mast because all lines are lead aft except spin Halyard(s). My boat came to me setup with a winch on the mast for the clew outhaul adjustment a 4 larger barient winches, 2 on either side outboard of the mast and associated cleats because initially all halyards were also controlled with those winches. Now the halyards are controlled with cabin top winches and Lewmar clutches at the companionway, which I like because it keeps me in the safety of the cockpit and they are easier to adjust on the fly. _____ From: CnC-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joel Aronson Sent: March 22, 2014 5:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Stus-List Out haul replacement I'm guessing there is a becket on one of the blocks. Hoping someone knows for sure. Joel 35/3 On Saturday, March 22, 2014, Jake Brodersen <[email protected]> wrote: Joel, Mine is a direct line that is lead from the boom to a winch. My Hunter had a block and tackle and it was anchored just inside the forward end of the boom. The 4:1 purchase really worked well.

There is an internal block and tackle. I assumed the line was a wire to rope splice. It turns out that the wire is attached to the back of the block and tackle and the line is independent. Does anyone have any idea where the end of the line is inside the boom? -- Joel 301 541 8551 -- Joel 301 541 8551
