H23.5 mast base halyard sheave spacers
- Thread starter Rick Macdonald
- Start date
I bought a cheap Dollar General white plastic patio end table that goes with the while plastic stackable chairs.I paid about $8 for it. From the flat table top surface I traced and cut out 4 sheeve separators and then cut away the rest of the flat surface from the scrap for future use. The first separator has lasted me about 5 years and finally cracked after I accidentally stepped on it. BrianW
Thanks everyone for the replies...
Thanks Scotty! The manual for my H23.5 doesn't have that diagram. I remember it was slightly odd shaped, not that it's too critical.
Years ago I bought a 12x24 piece of UHMW to fashion shims for the tiller, where it's sandwiched between the top of the rudder plates. I'm pretty sure I kept the leftovers, but now I'm 90 minutes away from the boat for a few days so I'll to wait.
I guess what remains is how to figure out how to get the pin out. Maybe grab it between the sheaves with needle-nose pliers and try to push it?

Rick, on my H26, I accessed the pin from inside the cabin. If I pull out the light fixture over the table, I can reach into the thin “ceiling” space and feel for the pin and guide it into the pin recessed area. It’s much easier with 2 people. I’m considering drilling through the molded housing from the outside and using a bolt and nut as the sheeve axle and sealing the bolt lightly with 4200. BrianW
