To figure line length, measure the distance from the furler to the furling cleat. Add length indicated below.
Feed the line through bullseye and into spool. Run down into deadend hole located on the lower flange of
the spool and add a stop knot. Tie an overhand or figure-8 knot in the end. Set up lead block so line runs
perpendicular to drum when it leaves bullseye.
The bullseye can correct small differences in line angle. Lead line aft using ball bearing blocks where line
makes a turn more than 30 degrees. Install cleat.
