A short while back, I had posted a question about using a pulley with a rudder line. I stopped by a local West Marine and picked up a Harken 350 pulley (Thanks to jsuber). Originally, my rudder line ran through a pad eye closest to my seat:

Now the line runs through the pulley...which makes it SO much smoother. I temporarily attached a clip which attaches to the nylon ring, which I may switch out for a piece of bungee with terminal ends later on. The clip was installed temporarily because my line was too tight after I installed the pulley, which is a tad further back than the original pad eye. The pulley is installed with wellnuts. Here are some pics:

Thanks again for all of the great input...The folks on this site are great! :thumbright:

What about the holes from the eyelet... Did it match up??

No...I had to drill an additional hole. The holes of the pulley are not as wide as the holes of the eyelet. Although you cannot see the open hole, I used GOOP to close it up.
