I just replaced my outhaul last winter. It was the same as described by Jim. I removed the gooseneck fitting for easy? access. I would suggest using your favorite high-tech line to replace the wire and 3/8 purchase. I increased the purchase by one and used small harken blocks. The tail of the purchase now exits through a block in the bottom of the boom, to a carbon clamcleat. From the clamcleat, the line leads to a small bullet block on the bottom of the boom. This last block keeps the line from pulling out of the clamcleat and allows the outhaul to be pulled from and angle. The crew thinks it is a great improvement.
