Looking for a part (Deck Organizer)

I can't quite see it, might be Schaefer, can you show it close-up?
Thanks Dave

I'll snap a pic Saturday (maybe Friday night) and reach out to you guys next week. I recently ran all of my lines to the cockpit including the topping lift and my clew reefing line. My current organizer is maxed out and I have a few lines just running back to a cleat that could use some "organizing". I'd also like to add a down haul line for my main halyard. When trying to reef from the cockpit, I occasionally still have to go to the mast and yank down on the luff because of a jammed sail slide. I believe with my clew reef line and a down haul I could easily release the main haylard and use those two lines to affect my reef from the cockpit.

It looks like the H26 deck was cast with the same embedded "backing" plates on the port side as seen on the starboard side for the organizer and clutch but... the port side is empty. I'd like to tap and dye some threaded holes and attache an organizer to port and maybe some clam cleats or another set of clutches.

Hey Thanks @twalker H260
I did a google with that part number and nothing came up but.... looking at the manual I did see that a port side organizer was a dealer option AND the part no was the same. So my plan should work once I locate the part. It is a start.:thumbup:

I would also like to set my H26 up to fly a drifter and it would be nice to run my jib halyard back to the cockpit as well... so this is something I really want to take care of.

I found a few more examples online. This first one definitely looks like mine. Silver with black sheaves.

Schaefer either two or three deck organizer and still available which are secured by bolts screwed into incapsulated aluminum plates embedded in the deck. Reference number is that from the old Hunter as I knew it, not Schaefer number. You can purchase that thru the forum store

... who made the deck organizer for the H26 circa 1995?
Does it need to replaced due to wear/breakage, or do you just need more line capacity? They can be stacked on top, saving removing the OEM from the deck, just need longer bolts.

My starboard organizer is fine. I'd like to add one to port and if possible, I'd like them to look the same. But it is not critical that they do so.

It looks like Catalina Direct still sells them.
