I have an 84 Hunter 31.
So yesterday was good and good lol, wind was 15-20kts gusting to 30 so great sailing but had to put in a second reef under some load and unfortunately I blew up the old dried out brittle sheaves that the rear reefing lines run through at the cockpit end of the boom, they are secured by a pin that slides into a slot.
Reefing lines are port and starboard and in the middle is a sheave(black in color) for the outhaul.
Checked west marine none in stock that size.
They are
Black for outhaul
11mm Id
30mm od
9.5mm wide
White for reefing lines
11mm Id
16mm od
14.24mm wide
Anyone know where to get replacements?
I’ll try scouring the interweb but usually on this forum it’s happened to someone else already.
Thanks in advance
