You have to fiddle with it a bit but it's no big deal when you're on the hard. There's a hole at the top of the rudder, forward and underneath the rudder post, that accepts the downhaul line. What you have to do is drop a new line down the rudder post and feed it through that hole - use enough extra line to work with and don't tie it off yet. Then, at the top end of the line, attach a pulley with a bowline, using the "extra" line you ran down the post. Now, there's also a hole on the back of the rudder, halfway down, that accepts the "up haul" line. Feed a separate line through that hole and up to the top of the rudder post (stay out of the post with this one), where you will feed the other end through the pulley you attached to the separate downhaul. The "up haul" line, on the other side of the pulley, is the end of the line that will be cleated onto the tiller. Now, with the rudder down, lower the pulley into the rudder post, about halfway down. With the rudder in the "down" position, tie a good stop-knot behind the line's hole in the rudder. With the rudder still down, tie a stop-knot behind the hole for the uphaul, on the back of the rudder. Trim the lines, with a hot-knife (if you have one) and you are done. The "uphaul" line does all the work, the pulley and gravity go along for the ride. As far as the "sharp end" of the rudder post cutting the line, there should (may) be a round bar welded to the top of the rudder post - it's there to keep the line off the sharp end - feed the uphaul line through it. BTW, this reminds me of being told once, in school, to write an essay on how to make a peanut butter sandwich - sorry if I made a mess of it! Good luck.
