We use the original cleat, cleat location, and single sheaves in each of the gooseneck and boom end castings. We substitute blocks and create a simple cascade purchase inside the boom in place of the two original single blocks to create more purchase.

The photo above shows the layout of the blocks to illustrate how the system works, but all of these components are installed inside the boom. The forward block is shackled into the original hole already located in the gooseneck (top right corner of the photo). One additional hole must be drilled in the flange of the gooseneck on the opposite side from the original.

The block in the bottom left hand corner of the photo is swaged to the actual outhaul wire. That wire continues aft then exits the boom as usual through your existing sheave in the boom end casting.

3) The length of this item is based on the original factory specifications. However, the previous owner, like Captain Jack Sparrow, may have had an entirely different idea about how to rig a boat! Please confirm this is the correct length for your particular boat. We cut it from a long length and can't splice it back together again. Your order cannot be canceled, returned or exchanged, but, like Jack, you may have a different idea of what you can use it for!
