Thread discussing downhaul. Line ties to the head of the main. Then, goes through the block that you install at the base of the mast.
A slick trick is to run a single loop for downhaul and halyard, with just enough slack to cleat it. Keeps you from having a lot of extra line to deal with in the cockpit.

I recently ordered a replacement Bimini from BWY. I could not figure out certain parts to the installation. I called them. Todd returned the call with answers to my questions.
Call them if you still need clarification, they are easy people to work with.

Yeah. If you're gonna do this, be sure to run the downhaul on the
same side of the boat as the halyard. Unless you like constantly tripping or garrotting yourself.
