I find it very difficult to use the the OEM traveler on my 376 with my dodger installed. Has anyone made/done a modification to make use of the traveler easier?
Thanks. Bob

Yeah, but getting the lines out of the cam cleats is a bear under a load. I was thinking about eliminating the cam cleats on the traveler bar ends and leading the lines in under the dodger to a new cam or clutch on each side.
Has anyone done this?

Bob: That is probably a good idea. Our HV'36 has blocks on each side of the companionway so the lines lead back to the cockpit. We have 4 clutches (Garhauer) on each side of the companionway.
I have a 1998 376 set up like that and agree under load it is hard to adjust. I was thinking of doing the same. I look at placing the clam cleat between the two winches. The is a place in the line storage area that would work. it is a pretty direct lead. Just not sure the area is strong enough.
