The sheaves on my '86 h34 deck organizers are crumbling due to uv damage. I measured the sheaves and ordered some delrin replacements. Trouble is, I can't get the old sheaves out of the frame. I pulled the organizer off the deck and attempted to drive the bushing out of the frame but no joy. Has anyone either replaced the sheaves or found a direct replacement for the whole unit. The hole spacing between the sheaves (bolt centers) is 2 1/4".

I have just replaced my deck organizers from my 84 H34 and have the old ones that are looking for a good home. But I just looked at them and if they are the same ones, once you remove the thru bolts and the top piece, the sheaves just lift up off of the posts. Let me know if you want my old ones, the sheaves seem to be in workable condition. I replaced my with Harken deck organizers 2 on top of 2.

I wanted to bring halyards, reefing lines, downhaul and outhaul to the cockpit so I needed to replace the deck organizers on both sides. I did not find a direct replacement but since there is an aluminum back plate embedded in the fiberglass, it was not a big issue to align the new organizers (Schaefers). I used one of the two holes, plugged-up the unused one and drilled another one of the same size where needed, taping the embedded plate to accept the holding bolt (IIRC 1/4 - 20). See pics

When I replaced the deck organizers on my Hunter 31 I could not find ones to match the existing bolt hole pattern so filled in the old holes, gelcoated over them and drilled new holes to mount the new organizers.

Looks like what I've been looking at. Are those 5 series or 7 series? The 2 sheave. Wasn't the correct spacing? Good to know there's enough aluminum plate to sink another hole if I need to.
