I just purchased a quad top to replace my tripple block.

If you have this system would you please upload a few pics so i can see how to run the sheet. I dont know how Harken expects people to be able to follow there little graphic (that is hard to find on there site as is).

Thank you

A great trick I learned is to reeve the blocks with them at 90 degrees to each other. Then start with the becket and go to the center or go to each side so that loads are balanced. I am not sure if this makes sense, but you will get identical results to the haarken pdf description that Bobcat linked to and it is easy to do at any time without the paper guide.
