Put the rope under tension
and slide the cover from the
base of the splice back up the
rope towards the splice area.
It will be necessary to unbraid
the end of the cover for some
length in order to remove all
the slack from the braided
section. Slide past the braided
section as far as possible up
past the end of the splice.
Then tightly tape the braided
cover at the point where the
braid begins to come apart
and divide the unbraided cover
yarns into 6 separate bundles.
Finally divide the unbraided
cover yarns from the eye into
6 separate bundles (3 bundles
from each leg of the eye.)
Starting at the base of the splice, take 1 of the 6 cover braid bundles, pass it over 1 of the cores and under the very next core (forming
a simple tuck similar to that used in splicing 3-strand rope.) When tucking the cover bundle be careful not to go under the core in the
center of the rope. Repeat this procedure with each of the 6 cover bundles. The direction of the tucks should be as shown.
When all 6 bundles have been tucked once, tightly tape around the rope at the point where the tucks occur. Repeat this procedure until
a minimum of 3 complete tucks have been made with all 6 cover bundles. Additional tucks can be made if there is sufficient length left.
When the last set of tucks has been made and taped, cut off the excess cover yarn bundles flush with the last taped section.

Turn the rope over and repeat Step 6 using the
last 3 cores and core tails. Core tail #5 passes
over core #5 and #6 and tucks into core #7. Core
tail #6 passes under core #5 and tucks into #6.
Core tail #7 tucks directly into core #5 (Fig. H).
