top view:note slider which runs in the track
This is the outhaul purchase from inside the boom, you can see the metal wire to the left has been broken and the line is worn out and sheared off. I have set so you can see how it would sit in boom. to the right is a stainless bolt 14mm with nylon lock nut which secures the block and the opposite block has the wire out haul line crimped on.
bottom view:
from non gooseneck end of boom
gooseneck end cap removed, 4 flat head screws hold it into boom. the blue line is at chase line for the outhaul. I plan to sand blast and clean up end caps and service all parts.
End of boom cap removed note the center pulley is metal which is takes the metal wire for out haul. To my supprise I found the entire outhaul purchase inside of boom with line broken and cable snapped clear off. I plan to service pulleys sand blast and clean up.

I'm planning on upgrading the line for the purchase and down grade size so it runs better, service the blocks and will replace the broken wire with Spectra which should be lighter, stronger, and run easier.
