Well, I've got a winter fishing expedition. Our outhaul's totally jammed. I assume there's a purchase/tackle that lives down inside the boom that's tumbled, or had a block fail, or the like.
Does anyone have a description of how this was put together on the original Kenyon booms. I'd love to have some hints of what I'm going to find before I start fishing.
Looking at the boom, it looks to me like one has to pull the mainsheet bail, or it's going to block the path of any fishing expedition. True? Anyone been down this path recently? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
- David

Just got through rerigging my boom, so here's my two cents.
The outhaul tackle consists of a fixed single block with becket and a floating double block attached to the outhaul wire. The fixed block is attached to a 3/8" throughbolt about 6" from the mast end of the boom tube.
Started to tell you how to build a watch when all you asked was what time it was. If you would like the results of my many mast and boom fishing expeditions, let me know.

Well, this weekend, I got around to sorting out our outhaul. Thanks to those who provided notes earlier. We did minimally invasive surgery. The outhaul anchors on the bolt that's midway between the vang tang and gooseneck. We pulled the bolt, hauled the tacke down the boom and took a look. Tumbled tackle, mostly frozen block and other excitement. (The block was 90% jammed by a badly installed strap, which probably dates to 1979.) We replaced the blocks, and re-wove the tackle.
For pulling the tackle back up the boom, we dropped a messanger down from the bolt hole, and fastened it to the attach point on the tackle. (With a long looped bowline, this turns out to be important) We then pulled the tackle down to the bolt hole. We then pegged the strap on the block that gets held by the bolt with a thin screwdriver, which allowed us to push the bolt through the strap. We then untied the bowline, pulled the messange clear and passed the bolt all the way through and resecured it.
