I wanted to replace the tired and worn outlhaul line on the H28.5. A wire comes out the boom aft side and an internally connected tensioner line drops out the mast side lower center pulley wheel.

I wanted to measure how much line to get but in the process... dah.... lost the mast side line into the boom and - once committed this way, I pulled out the wire on the aft side to learn its connected to a fiddle block system at the end of the wire. On the mast side ( had to dissemble the mast side endcap), has an opposing fiddle block 5 inches or so into the mast side boom anchored by a boom thru bolt.

Can anyone post a diagram how this haulout line should run within the blocks and out thru the center bottom pully wheel.
You'd think that the h28.5 manual would show this info and the dimension & length of the line but no ;<

Thanks for any guidance.

I think you have a Isomat boom. You may want to see if anyone has the specs on this setup.

thanks for the help-
it is a Kenyon Boom - not Isomat.

Nereussailer-The URL with the jpgs was on the mark- a big help

I wish the fasteners for the mast side boom fitting were beefier- the bottom screw pinning them together is undersized and I had to put a skinny horizontal thru bolt thru the middle of the boom to better hold the endfitting to the boom. i have a K-1000 boom kicker and the levering flex load from the mainsheet tended to work the screws out.

thanks to all for the help
