ball bearing sheaves

Post by grandillusion »

looking for a part# and manufacture for masthead and CB lift sheaves, I ordered a Garhauer 27 thinking it would work on the genny and spin halyard but it looks like a wire sheave and is to small for my 5/16 halyards (ID and OD good though), looked for old posts but the search engine is in debug mode or something

board lifting sheaves

Post by Fred Chadsey »

We used 3 Harken #311 sheaves & 1 #308. rebuilt fiddle w/ 1-#311 & 1-#308, other Harken #311 were @ top of lifting system. We also replaced the block in the bridge w/ harken # 311. System works great, less friction in blocks.

Most of owr friction was on the side wall by the shims. When we pulled the board there was a lot of crud on the shim, we sand ed them down. This helped most.
