cheek block for centerboard

[bart5008]

This weekend while preparing to put the boat on the trailer the cheek block at the corner of the hatch broke trying to pull up the centerboard. The sheave simply disintegrated. Made by Schaeffer.
Does anyone have any ideas where I can get another?

Hi Bart,

Any chance you can post a photo (or send us one through the customer service system) so I know we're talking about the same block? I'm sure we can find the replacement for you.

I will take it off Tuesday and try to take a picture and send it to you.

Check Ebay

Here is an option from Garhauer too. If you cannot find the exact hole pattern, they will custom drill the block for you.

Raising centre Board on a 260

Just a hint! It is much easier to raise the centre board and a lot less stress on all the gear if you do it whilst motoring (forward of course). The difference is significant compared to standing alongside the dock.
