Seeking 4-sheave Deck Organizer and Clutch

[goodintheory]

I am seeking a 4-sheave deck (2+2) organizer and clutch for the reefing system and jib halyard on my 1986 Pearson 33-2. I believe the deck organizer is 80's vintage Garhauer. Anyway, I've seen the same original hardware on most Pearsons. I could upgrade to the newer stuff, but don't want to have to go through the rigmarole of re-bedding a new organizer. Does anyone know where to locate an OEM organizer and clutch for 4 inputs for the Pearson or know anyone who wants to cannibalize parts off of an 80's vintage boat?

Thanks!

You don't have to.

Garhauer sells replacement sheaves for those organizers. The new sheaves are ball bearing type.

Call them.

The 4 sheave organizer on my Pearson 36-2 is simply a 2 sheave organizer stacked on top of another 2 sheave organizer. The through bolts were changed to longer ones to accommodate the extra organizer height.

If Bacon's in Annapolis does not have a used one, Garhauer probably still makes the two sheave organizer.

If you are looking for the line stopper, that is another problem. To make a four lins stopper I found a single line Garhauer stopper and added it to the three line stopper, using longer bolts to attach it to the existing one.

Thanks

Thanks, guys. I didn't realize the 4-sheave input was two, 2-line inputs stacked on top of each other. That's hilarious. I think I've seen Ariel out on the Bay. Cool. I'll check Bacon's and see what they have. If not, I'll invest in one of Garhauer's new organizers. Now. . . I need a 4-port clutch. Definitely want that to match, so if anyone comes across one, let me know.

Thanks!

Just replaced my 4 sheave deck organizers on a PEARSON 39-2 with new ones from Garhauer. The holes Lined up perfectly.
