Hey All,
I'm trying to replace the original turning blocks on my 1990 H30. Clearly they've seen better days. I apologize for the terrible photos - was trying to take them in direct sunlight and could barely see the screen.
It's an Isomat mast and despite the presence of the slots for nuts for additional blocks, the existing ones have no access to the bottom - likely why they were never changed by the previous owner!
I'm thinking the best choice will be to try to drill out the pins in the existing blocks - anyone have a better idea? Then replace it with something like this, assuming the clevis pin size is the same Harken Sailboat Hardware and Accessories
Anyone ever do this? Pulling the mast is not an option at the moment. Thanks!
