sheaves

I finally made it up my mast and found at least one frozen sheave. I still have cable/line halyards. Where do I find replacements?

Hello all, this is my first post on this site. My name is Chris and I own a '79 Ericson 35-2. I went up the mast recently to try and get my halyards moving again, one has ball stops that got jammed in the sheaves and the other halyard line broke. Both are spliced line to wire. Once up there it...

My Ericson 35-2 . Both my main and jib sheaves are frozen solid making it almost impossible to raise the main. Jib is on roller furling when I took jib sail down to clean it. It also was very hard to raise. I had one guy go up the mast and he sprayed pb blaster on sheaves and could brake them...

Does anyone know off hand what size sheaves the stock E27 masthead uses? Thanks.

is this an original factory setup ? to me the sheaves are really close together and one side is already cutting the mast. as i was the one who did the winching and my wife was taking pictures and checking things a cant really say if there were any welded holes from the past thanks Paul :egrin...

Folks, While the mast is down I am installing mast step rigging plate and replacing halyards from wire to ropes. I know that this had been asked and answered, however here it goes again: Original sheaves in the mast box are OD 2 3/4 with ID 3/8 and are in a bad shape. Each halyard is using two...

How many mast head shivs are required for a 1987 E-34. I know the specs for the shivs, but not how many. I assume 1 shiv per haliard but does the storm sail haliard use a standard shiv. thanks, Andy

Hi, I'm new to the board and just want to say this place has been a godsend since I have found it. But I digress. I sail on a 1973 Ericson 79 in the Great Lakes area and the boat has been in a process of continual upgrading. We have replaced the majority of the sheaves and replaced all of the...

I have a 1989 28' with a backstay adjuster using 4 wire rope sheaves, 1-3/8" dia. There is a sailboat emblem on the connecting plate. Anyone know who makes it and where I might find a replacement sheave? Harken is a tad too big.

The best of the season to everyone. This fall, after putting the boat away for the winter, I discovered that the axle for the main halyard sheave had broken at the stem attached to the tab. The sheave bore is slightly out of round indicating it has been unserviced for quite a while.The seats...

Hi all, I was wondering what brands of halyard sheaves with ball bearings would be good use for the mast crane. I was gandering a some harken sheaves at my local Westmarine, but I couldn't find any meant for 3/8 line halyards. And I was also wondering if replacing my non-ball bearing sheaves...

I am in the process of refurbishing a 1970 E-30 and have dropped the mast. I would appreciate any help with where to find replacement sheaves. There are 4 of them, two smaller ones the same diameter, and then two larger ones of different diameters.
