Replacing just the wheel in a pulley

[dawg2]

Is there a source for pulley wheels? This is the pulley for the daggerboard on my 26D and the wheel needs to changed out. The pulley itself is all stainless and in good shape. I was trying to eliminate replacing the whole thing and having to drill more holes. I assume they don't make this same pulley anymore.

any marine parts store carries them. Know your size. I believe they call them sheaves

Sheave! Thanks. Just got this boat and am brushing up on "names" for everything.

Take it out, measure it up (including width and bore), and look around for replacement sheaves.

The problem with replacing the sheaves is that they don't provide the pin. You will have to use a screw and nut. I am considering drilling out the old pin and tapping it for a small screw. By the time your done you will have invested $8 (at WM) and a couple of hours to save a $14 block.

This sheave is held in place with a screw based on what I was looking at. I will take it apart tonight and see for sure.
