[C320-list] Outhaul replacement

[argates2nd at comcast.net]

Bernie, 

Other members may know more or actually have replaced an outhaul, but I would have thought you could pull the entire line and cable out the aft end of the boom, having attached a messenger line to the fwd end of the line.  Then order an identical replacement and fish it in from the aft end using the messenger line.  Rollie   #182

Thanks Rollie, 

  

I have the diagram, but it is a bit basic, and from what I can see outlines 
the Reefing line rig. I can't see how I could access the Outhaul, or is this 
attached to that reefing lines somehow (can't see that on the diagram)? You 
are right the outhaul end is attached to a wire and looks like a block 
inside, but can't see where the line terminates or I could access it without 
removing the boom end to replace the line. 

  

Cheers 

Bernie

I recently lost my continuous reefing line in the boom and thankfully there 
was a messenger line thru the boom for the fix. 

Our outhaul exits the front of the boom as a line although the aft end is a 
wire cable.? There should be a drawing in your Owners Manual or on the C320 
website? 

Rollie? #182

Hi folks, 

  

My outhaul is looking a bit frazzled and I can't see an easy way to replace 
it as it terminates inside the boom. Is there a good technique for accessing 
it? 

  

Regards 

Bernie
