Alan, I replaced two of them in my mast a year ago. Having done so, I'd strongly suggest you get your replacement sheaves from Offshore. They really weren't that expensive. You have 3 critical dimensions to deal with. The sheave diameter(approx. 2"), the sheave width, and the bushing diameter for the pin. The pin, halyard guard, and sheaves all fit together with no room to spare. If the sheave is just slightly too big or too wide, it'll jam against the halyard guard. Jeff is right on with everything he says. My front halyard guard screw was also seized. I had to drill out and retap this just like he did. Greg Grassle Hull #113 "Pinch Me" |
