So OK ... while 10 mm VPC is very nice ... feeding it though the sheave at the top of the mast is another story. The easiest way I have found is to push back the cover on the red vpc about 6 in. and cut off the core ... then do the reverse on the 3/8. and sort of insert the 3/8 core into the 10mm cover. Use a cheap and thin duct tape to keep everything from fluffing out of control.

this shoots right through the sheave if the duct tape is rolled nicely tight. Always run the new line from the outside of the mast in for a better angle into the sheave.
