Not sure of the brand, but all of the blocks are on the small side. No reason or room to use larger ones here. I'd lubricate everything,verify that the lines are not hanging up on the fiberglass, and are running where they are supposed to. Check the attached diagram. I think the original posting may have lost it when we migragted here a few months ago. Pay particular attention to the way the lower lines go around the sleeve covering the big rudder hinge pin.

Ron, can you explain the double down lines for the rudder? I don’t see it depicted in the diagram.
Thanks
