Adding this to an old string...
I just bought a used Eclipse 12, and the steering was backwards. Previous owner just got used to it. The block (on mine at least) has legs which support the pulley, then reach further to touch the bottom of the recess. The bottom of the recess is angled up toward the rear, and the legs on the block are longer at the front than the rear. Simply turning the block 180 degrees means the block doesn't sit correctly in the recess. I slid the color-coded plastic pieces off the ends of the lines, untied the loops and pulled the lines from the block. Then I oriented the block so the long legs were forward, brought the line from the left side of the board under the pulley then threaded it up through the right-side hole. Then the line from the right side of the board goes under the pulley and up through the left-side hole. Then I retied the loops, replaced the block in the recess being careful that the lines passed under the pulley correctly and replaced the screws. I slipped the colored plastic pieces back on the lines and reconnected the lines. Before the fix, the left line came directly from the board and up through the left-side hole in the block, similar for the right-side line, and not around the pulley. Once fixed, steering is correct and easier because of reduced friction.
