When I got my 6.0 from a friend who's also a rigger by trade, he had that style system on the boat.

It was the FIRST thing I took OFF the boat!!!!

Bad system, 2 good reasons:

1. when rudder is in downhauled postion, this system doesn't rotate with the rudder and casting. Eventually the downhaul line bores it's way into the front of the rudder halves at the OEM lamination where it's put together at the factory.

2. Any obstructions put a great deal of stress on the system, eventually popping the line out of the cam cleat in front on the front beam- YOU HOPE!, more like rudder/casting/transom failure!

IMHO, I would and do use the system previously desribed.

If you want pics, I think Murrays catalog has one, they sell them.
