But it doesn't ease as easily as we would like. Replacing the line in the boom vang that came with the boat is a job for an expert. The rope on my outhaul was worn pretty badly by the jam cleat, but rather than replace it I patched it with needle and thread. Now that I have removed the original jam cleat on the bottom of the boom wear in the rope is no longer a problem. So, I'm still using the original outhaul line after 16 years.
