[C320-list] Internal boom rigging

[jpmesa at aol.com]

Had the same problems several years ago. I had to tighten the first reef line to get it out of the way. After that I was able to work it through. It helps to have a set of extra eyes. Use a flash light looking into the boom. If I remember right I also use a long wooden dowel to help out. Good Luck. JOHN    Holokai 2

Greetings,

I attempted to replace the outhaul line on my 2000 C-320 (hull 702) yesterday. 
After carefully splicing the new and old lines together for the brief transit 
thru the boom I began to pull from the aft end. Based on the diagram in the 
owners manual I expected to simply pull the line over two sheevs. To my 
surprised I pulled out a block with three more lines attached. 
According to the diagram I believe this is meant to be the 1st reef line. 

Has anyone replaced the lines in the boom before? Can someone help explain the 
proper rigging for my 1st reef and out haul lines?

Thank you,
