Hi Every One, Thanks for all your great replies, and thanks for the offer on the sheave, however the halyard is external. Also, the boat yard I'm in on Shelter Island N.Y. does not have a crane or cherry picker.
If I understand correctly you are using the wire/rope halyard. Once you had the messenger installed, did you the attached the rope end or the wire end to it? I assumed I would reverse the process for the opposite halyard, yes. Also, is there a possibility for snagging in the sheave at the point where the two lines taper together?
