I hesitate to post this cuz it demonstrates my abject lack of knowledge.. anyhoooo.
I'm putting a reefing line on my C&C 30. The boom has a block mounted in the appropriate spot just aft of the leech but I'll need to mount a turning block on the luff end to run the line to the base of the mast and into the cockpit.
Relative to the size of the screw, what size pilot holes do I want to drill?
Also, does one have to use a tap to create threads or just push and screw harder till it goes in
Thanks,
