Freedom 25 outhaul upgrade:

This is a few pics of the upgrade and service to the outhaul system which is inside of the boom of my Freedom 25.

this pic is taken from gooseneck side of boom, it shows the entire outhaul system which is laying on the boom so you can see how it works.

upgrades:

1. upgraded line in purchase and down sized it's diameter to help it work more smoothly, est length of 25 feet. which puts the middle block in the middle of the boom allowing it to move freely away from through bolts.

2. removed cable which ran through shiv and attached to sail, and replaced with 3/16th 12 strand spectra with UV coating, this line has a 5,000lb breaking point, weighs less then half of cable and runs much smoother, and nothing to bind or rust.

This detail shows the spliced spectra to the block. I reduced the travel of the purchase so their was less line, and clutter in the boom. and ran a single line to end of boom. est length is 10'

This detail shows the end of spectra which replaced the cable, the boom end fitting with shevs are not in pic but you should get the point from the pic, the end of spectra is spliced and I have a captive stainless shackle to attach to the sail.
