7401 Forward Stanchion Block
Position 7401 Forward Stanchion 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.
7403 Outboard Stanchion Blocks
Install 7403 Outboard Stanchion Blocks so line is

outside stanchions.
Number and placement of leads depends on boat

length and number/configuration of stanchions.
7402 Ratchet Stanchion Block
Mount 7402 Ratchet Stanchion Block as farthest-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 a 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.
Lead line to furling line cleat in cockpit.
HCP168 Furling Line Cleat
Install so line is angled as shown. Use #10 (5 mm)

fasteners.
Note: As furling line lead changes, make sure line

doesn't chafe against line guard. Rotate drum

assembly if necessary, see page 22.
