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.

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.
