How is the outhaul line secured to the boom? At the end of the boom, is there meant to be a block or pulley, or does it just go through the inner hole on the boom end? On the return, how is it meant to be secured in the chrome "chock" on the side of the boom? Just with a stopper knot? Or is there supposed to be a metal or plastic fitting on the line itself, so the fitting rides in the chock?
I note that D&R sells only the outhaul line, not any outhaul fitting.
