| What they should look like |
While working with rigger Sean this past fall we discovered the outhaul sheave was in need of replacement.
 |
| The one on the right is in BAD shape |
Not an easy repair to pull off.
 |
| Waiting for the fix |
This meant gaining access to the bolt under the deck well hidden by our interior soft headliner.
 |
| The brittle and fragile plastic hatch trim |
Ultimately we ended up taking down the main saloon hatch trim and removing the staples holding up the headliner so we could reach way far in with a wrench. Of course nothing is easy so we had to remove the entire sheave unit to get out the bad one.

We agreed that ordering extras was smart. We documented with pics and details on wench size required, screw size, etc.... Now begins the great hunt for the right size replacement. We may end up with a whole new deck organizer if we can't find the right sheave.
 |
| The bolts were really far in - quite a reach |
*Update - Sean has located the correct size sheave and has them on order. YAY!
