That's why I did not jump in immediately after I read your question because I can not exactly remember where everything attaches but I did the clew outhaul line replacement and it was not a difficult job and the system is like that Harken sytsem.mine has metal blocks and they are not micro blocks. I tied tracer lines to everything and pulled the entire setup out the open aft end of the boom to install the new line. And to correct my earlier post, the low rise winch that was used to control the clew out haul was actually on the side of the boom (not the mast) and that winch and its line cleat are still on the boom but never used. _____ From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Joel Aronson Sent: March 23, 2014 6:28 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Out haul replacement Dwight Sounds like my system! How did you get the the becket where the line attaches?

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:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com <javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com');> ] On Behalf Of Joel Aronson Sent: March 22, 2014 5:45 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com <javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','cnc-list@cnc-list.com');> Subject: Re: Stus-List Out haul replacement I'm guessing there is a becket on one of the blocks.

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 -- Joel 301 541 8551
