Ball Bearing Sheave Source

[Steve Carpman]

To reduce friction in the reefing system on our Legand 37.5, we would like to change the sheaves at the ends of the boom to ball bearing sheaves. I spoke with the people at Rig-Rite who have replacement sheaves, but do not carry ball bearing sheaves.The sheaves are 60mm (2 5/16") OD x 14mm (9/16") wide x 10mm (3/8") ID. Rig-Rite carries an aluminum replacement sheaves which they say is sturdier than the acetyl (plastic) original equipment sheave. Is there a source for ball bearing sheaves of this size.

Try Garhauer Marine

I've been told that Garhauer Marine will make blocks to fit your application. You may want to contact them.If they'll make them for you, you may want to post it here. I am sure many of us would be interested.

check with Schaeffer directly on line or call them.I replaced the ball bearings on a sheave when it broke.
