if necessary.
Drum Empty

Drum Full
(sail unfurled)
Position Forward Lead Block so line enters drum
at right angles to headstay and centers vertically
in opening. Install so line is inside stanchion.
Correct block position is critical to even
line spooling and ease of furling.
7401 Forward Lead Block
Install 7403 Outboard Stanchion Blocks so line is
outside stanchions.
Number and placement of leads depends on boat
length and number/configuration of stanchions.
7403 Outboard Stanchion Blocks
Mount 7402 Ratchet Stanchion Block as furthest-aft
lead to prevent line overrides in drum when unfurling.
Position ratchet block so line turns at least 90°.
Install so line is inside stanchion.
Lead line through block so ratchet makes
clicking sound when pulling line to furl sail.
Tip: Make sure ratchet switch is in “ON” position. If there is
no clicking sound, lead line through block in opposite direction.
