Did you connect Garhauer?  I think you can repair these pretty easily.  So yours look like these?https://www.garhauermarine.com/product-category/deck-blocks-hardware-mast-boom-blocks-hardware/rope-clutches/Jeff Hare

I called the manufacturer and they do not make internal rebuild kits so I am looking at a new one. Since the three on starboard get the most use (main/reef/vang) I think I will just replace all three.  Port side seems fine for now. The question is this: Is there a backing plate that is tapped for screws on the cabin house?  If not, how do you replace them?Thanks!SaraWandering Star2000/#707Seattle
