Hi Gang,
I have an '84 Hunter 27 and could use some help locating replacement sheaves.

I have broken sheaves for the Merriman 2 sheave deck organizers. I have been searching like crazy, and can't find exact replacements. I have looked at rig-rite and others but wanted to know if anyone has found the exact replacements anywhere.

I don't want to change the organizers, drilling new holes etc. so anyone that can point me in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Barrett

Contact Mark at Garhauer Marine. I believe that they will custom drill you some deck organizers at a very reasonable price.

If you know a local rigger, he may have a bin of replaced hardware you can paw through, then take for little or nothing.

We got most of our new deck hardware this way.

Merriman is long out of business, but Schaefer has equipment nearly the same dimension as Merriman. I bet their sheaves will work well. They have them in the Schaefer catalog, which you can find on line.

Garhaur custom made deck organizers that with measurements fit perfectly in the old holes. Cost was about 65% of harken, sheaffer, or anyone else. Have been on our boat for ~6 years now and work perfectly. We've replaced nearly all blocks, etc., with Garhar equipment. Garhaur is, IMHO, is the way to go.

I doubt you will find a better price on organizers of equal quality to the Garhauer units even if they charge a custom setup. If you need anything else to convince you they also have a 10 year warranty on their products.
