Hello All,
My sheaves on the deck organizers are in pretty bad shape, went out there this weekend to remove in anticipation of replacing them altogether, only to find that they are really "glued in" to the deck. Removed the screws and it's still not budging. Figured I'd bail on that plan and just replace the sheaves. Brought a sheave home and start shopping for replacements, but I'm not coming up with a good replacement. So that leaves me with two options:
1) Remove old deck organizer and replace completely.
- Anyone know what's keeping these things stuck to the deck, and how can I remove them?
2) Replace sheave.
- Having trouble finding a sheave that is the correct size. Anyone got a lead on replacement?
Outside Diameter = 1-15/16"
Inside "Bore" Diameter = 1/2"
Cylinder Inside Diameter = 1/4"
Width of Sheave = 1/2"
I don't see any new sheaves with that cylinder bearing, So I guess, essentially, I'm looking for a sheave that is:
OD x ID x Width
2" (approx, we have some wiggle room here) x 1/4" x 1/2"

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Resolved. A forum user sent me private message with a link to Cat Direct where I can buy a direct replacement. Had a brain fart there, I usually check CD when looking for stuff but it slipped my mind this time.
Here's a link to the replacement sheave for those who may be wondering:

Also, you can try Garhauer for parts like this. www.garhauermarine.com They were the OEM, if I recall correctly, for much of Catalina's gear (I think CD gets some of the stuff they sell you from Garhauer), they make high quality stuff, and are great to work with.
We got replacement sheaves from them a few years ago.
