Replacing Halyard: RS600

   PS:  I always use monofilament fishing line, partly as I have suitable line on a multiplier reel that makes things easier to pull off line without getting twist in it and also as 25lb+ mono is fairly stiff. When I have used whipping twine I have found it very limp and more inclined to catch on things inside the mast.

	On a 600, remove the masthead sheave, turn the mast upside down and thread the mouse line in through the little exit hole. It should slide straight down and out the end. Tie the end which is left sticking out of the small hole to your halyard and poke it through then pull the mouse line from the masthead. Thread the halyard through the mast had fitting and reattach it then untie the mouse line and put your mast back up. On a 600 it's a ten minute job.
