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 around the bushing in the forward internal reefing sheave box with a longer D shackle which is provided with the kit. Another special wide D shackle is provided and replaces the forward outhaul sheave clevis pin in the gooseneck casting and is where the fixed end of the wire is attached.

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!

4) The length of line included with the kit assumes you are cleating the outhaul on the original boom mounted jam cleat. If you would like to lead the line back to the cockpit, let us know. We will oblige by selling you the extra feet of line on a per foot basis. We will assemble the kit accordingly per your request. Just call in your order and let us know how many feet extra you would like.

5) A 50% deposit will be billed when your order for this item is accepted. The balance will be billed when the product ships.
