Maria, Here is a picture showing the block. It would have been better if I had drilled the holes in the gudgeon slightly more aft (closer to the mahogany) than I did (I probably could have avoided the chafe that this picture illustrates). I had left the rudder mounted for a week or two, not raised completely and the line chafed on the transom gudgeon. I replaced the line and am careful not to leave the rudder in a position not quite fully raised and haven't had any more chafing since.
