Main outhaul system diagram

[Bolido]

Where can I find a diagram of the outhaul system? Took mine appart an am not sure where to anchor the front block.

Don’t know answer but interested in this information as well.

There is a 1/4" bolt that runs athwartships at the forward end of the boom about 9" from the gooseneck..  The forward end of the block and tackle attaches there.  How you orient the 4:1 purchase depends on whether the line exits the underside boom pointed forward or aft.  The boat comes with the line exiting aft, but most folks like it better exiting forward.

Does the outhaul use both sheaves on the back of the boom? The class rules seem to lack any limits on the outhaul purchase, nor any definition on how it is supposed to be rigged other than internal in the boom.

I have the wire on one sheave, and nothing on the other. Currently the outhaul exits the front of the boom, down to a block at the base of the mast, and back to a cleat on the sea hood. I would like to reroute it to cleat on the boom and want to plan the change before taking the end off the boom.
