My boat is sitting on the trailer mast down in my back yard. I thought I would do the simple job of replacing my main halyard this afternoon. I bought 65' non stretch & 50'
of dacron 1/8 pull cord. I attached the pull cord to the old rope with electrical tape. It pulled thru with no problem. Then I attached the pull cord to the new rope with electrical tape and started at the bottom of the mast. but when I got to the top it seperated. The tight turn at the top pull was not possible. I was able to get the pull rope back thru with wire. I have tried starting at the top with no luck making the tight turn. #@!!$#. So I have the pull cord in place. What is the trick to this????
