Andy,
Sounds like you have the right idea. Apparently somewhere along the line a  
previous owner made some modifications to the pulley system. I will have  
pictures of my cap and pulley system for you tonight. I know that Stan has made  
modifications over the years, but I've never seen your arrangement.

Here  are some pics and a graphic. The drawing is from the article on the
website  about how to rehab your centerboard, trunk and cap. (don't worry,
Stan,  I'll get a recycled Rhodes before I would attempt that on CEALA!)

The  problem area, as I see it is where the double mini block (in the
drawing)  for the mechanical advantage attaches and the bolts go thru the
hull.   There are 2 gaskets, one fiberglass and one rubber. The fiberglass
gasket  appears sound, but the rubber gasket is deformed by the nuts and  (too
small) washers. I'm going to get a new strip of rubber and a SS plate  to go
over it. Then I will replace the washers on the nuts with larger  one.  I'm
fairly sure this is the only leak. Thanks for you  input.
