Does anyone know the length of the pigtail wires for the jib blocks. I want to rig the barber hauler system. There are photos on page 10 and 11 of the manual, the appear to be about midway between the inboard side of the deck and the hiking strap.

pull to pull, my pigtail wires measure 7.5 inches, the pigtail anchors are situated 13.75 inches back from the center beam.

You are most welcome Elias, as a side note to all G-Cat owners, my G-Cat 5.0 was missing drain plugs, I was able to find them at West Marine but you have to order the drain plug with housing........

Part # RF294

My original drain plug housings were still attached to the transome but, the thread on the old housing was a fine thread and the thread on the new drain plugs is a course thread, did not match........so I ordered drain plug & housing x2, removed the old housings and installed new.

Or you can get the chromed version......

Part # RF737

makes you sail faster........ :joint:
