It might take me a few days to dig them up. I’m super busy - moving office. 
But close by.

>> I designed and built a couple of Delrin connectors with fast pins so I can remove one or both ends of the traveler and swing it out of the way or remove it. I have a spare pair of bar ends and the drawing I made to create them if anyone is interested. My stern rail has a kink in it from a crash my father had 25 years ago. I also want to add a passage in the rail at the ladder which will make using the stern ladder much easier. The newer 1” stern rails with the curves for the helm chairs are a big improvement over the older 7/8 tube like mine. If I upgrade my stern rail I might consider attaching a Harken or equal traveler to it. Then it’s out of the way for the ladder and operation the outboard.
