I'm getting a beam from a performance dealer, but at the price I'm paying, I'm sure there is no barberhauler system installed.
My current system has to cams (one on each side) and has a block that runs the line through the beam. One continuous line for the system. Problem is there is no pully or block toroute the line in a straight fashion to the job block, so the line ends up getting chewed by the sliver doo-dad on top of the camcleat (fairlead?)
I think I'm going to try some of the new plastic fairleads from Harken. I don't know if my new beam is drilled or not, but I thought I'd try and figure this situation out before I got it.
Why new beam? Previous owner looks like they ran the boat into a piling on the front beam HARD. Bent flat. Since I'm going through the boat, and I want to sail it over to the bahamas this summer, I'm making sure every part I know that isn't in 100% condition is getting replaced. If you had a picture of the new "factory" system, that would be great
