Yes, you can download the H16 manual here at the main Hobie web site which has an illustration of a 6:1 block. Or you can go to the Harken web site and search "reeving diagrams" where you will find two 6:1 diagrams, one with the becket on the main block and another with the becket on the cam cleat. |

The way I did it. Set the upper block on the ground, and the lower block just under it as it would be on the boat. Label the three sheaves on each block 1-2-3. U stands for upper and L stands for lower block, be consistent l-r or r-l just make sure you number the sheaves the same way for the lower and upper block. Take one end of the sheet send it through the fairlead-L2-U1-L1-U3-L3-U2 and tie a it too the becket. Last but not least make sure when to twist the 2 blocks 90 degrees from each other when installing. Hope this makes some sort of sense, and that it is correct. Best Branson |

Here's a diagram that I found after doing a Google search. I keep a copy that is laminated in plastic in my toolbox just in case for those WTF moments. Hope it helps. //www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://static.hobiecat.com/linked_images/6to1mainsheet.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.hobiecat.com/community/viewtopic.php%3Ff%3D14%26t%3D3838&usg=__0w4NhI2Zq6TCS0SS3bg9deAUtXc=&h=432&w=208&sz=16&hl=en&start=7&sig2=KTlnu9QbM6dXT5RKKCBiNg&tbnid=DrTMsVgF7yB0IM:&tbnh=126&tbnw=61&ei=MLFPTJLGH4umsQO_xcyoCQ&prev=/images%3Fq%3D6%2Bto%2B1%2Bmainsheet%2Brigging%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dsafari%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Den%26biw%3D1241%26bih%3D682%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1 |
