The piston end below the shims (behind the pre-bend lever connection tube in the picture) sits on an urtalite ball attached to the main bulkhead so that the mast can rock backwards and forwards. The main halyard exits to the left and the vang to the right (led back to the mainsheet pedestal). The black tube is the hydraulic connection for the pump for the mast jack that is permanently in the mast.
