the lead line just goes straight down to a block on the deck, this would be a block to direct it to the pulpit then down

I'll take pictures of the traveler when i get back to the boat wed.  and yes, it's 3 recessed screws on each side.  maybe i just need to screw them farther down.

2 questions, does your traveler, from Guido (RIP) from Gaurhauer, does it slide all the way to the edges? I rebed mine (it's cabin top, i'm 1986 hull #99) and someone sailing my boat said the traveler should, well, travel, the whole length of the cabin top riser, but when I rebed it, I have 3 filled in screw holes, on each side, keeping the traveler from going all the way to the edge.  I don't race my boat but I can't see how water wouldn't get into the traveler /cabin top if the screws were out.  what am i missing?

secondly, the roller furler line on my harken drum was too tight against the inside/underside of the drum, and rubbing against the line.  I loosened it, which seemed to help the chafing but i was thinking of re-running it out of the drum to a spring loaded pulpit block (that I don't yet have), connected on the starboard pulpit.  anyone else done this before?   i want to lower (and control) the line coming out of the drum.

thanks

i can't seem to post the picture here since it's too big for the site, but I'm looking for a picture/measurements of the silver pin that connects the screw with white knob (catalina 1986) for the opening port , starboard side, vberth.  i have a cotter pin in and that's fine but i'd like to get an actual pin and i don't want to hammer against the rest of the windows since the hanging part, with the pin, is plastic and i don't want to break anything.  thank you

okay, then I'm not missing anything. I could have sworn there was a fourth piece.  good to know that I didn't lose a piece

i have a 1986 c34 and I'm completely at a loss about the plexiglass in the ice box. I *think* i put the top piece somewhere, can't find it, and can't remember how the other pieces go together (and I'm not even certain I lost the top piece, if there was one). Is there a drawing of the sizes of the pieces and how they go together?

thank you

we have mud wasps, where I keep my boat in the summer, and I found someone who will custom make a cockpit cover for me but i need to give him ideas of what I want it to look like.   Does anyone have pictures of theirs that they can share with me?  thank you
