Here's a better picture of the cam cleat where the furling line comes over the coaming. On Tue, Apr 24, 2018 at 7:22 PM, Larry Yake <larryyake@gmail.com> wrote:
Hmmm.... I'll have to check later to see about the alignment with the compression post. The boat is still under winter cover right now. The tabernacle is mounted as you observed, with the slot slightly forward. I have had it off the boat, but it was obvious which way it was to go back on as the shape of the foot of the mast was clearly etched into the surface of the tabernacle where it sits.

Same pic, different thread - I notice that your boat has what appears to be the same mast step as mine - tall stainless "U" with slot running vertically, off center fore-aft, for the bolt.
However yours is 180 degrees from mine - on yours, the slot is more towards the bow. On mine it is more towards the stern.
On mine, as it is, the mast base is directly over the compression post. The part of the step forward of the mast is also forward of the post.
So if I turned my step 180 to look like yours, using the same holes, the base of mast would be a bit offset forward of the post (partly forward of the post). I assume this would be a bad idea and the mast base should be directly atop compression post. Is your mast base directly atop compression post?
Just makes me curious about variations in production...why would the slot in the step be off-center fore-aft anyhow? Which way around is "correct" or does it matter, as long as mast base is directly atop compression post?
cheers, John S.

Here's a picture of my layout on CornDog. I routed it tight along the toe rail so it's not underfoot. Works very well. Perhaps not clear in the picture is that there is a fairlead on the pulpit which guides the line directly into the furler. Small blocks guide it along the toe rail, and it is cleated in a cam cleat on top of the coaming.

Mine is outboard on the edge of the cabin top where there is a slight crease. for the line to lay in.

Thanks George & others who replied...I was contemplating a similar
routing
I think. Quick question, in absence of pics:
Do your furling lines run outboard, or inboard, of the cabin-top handrail (assuming you have one)?
thanks, John S.

Just pulled my M15 out of the garage to get it ready for splash mid May and noticed that I had used 4 eye straps to lead the furling line aft. I forgot the one just ahead of the jam cleat on the starboard side cabin roof.
