Thanks to all for the great advice!
After 30+ years, perhaps it is time for replacements?
Can anyone comment on the working load capacity needed for jib sheets for a
36-foot boat? We're not racing. I'm fond of Garhauer gear ($$!).Garhauer Marine

Catalina Yachts the largest boat build... | |

After I disassembly mine (7 original with the boat), I put the sheaves and
rollers in my ultrasonic reloading cleaner at 160 degrees F and ran it for 30
minutes. All cleaned up good. Put them all back together with a good amount
of winch grease. I expect they will be good for another 25 years. I found
mine collection to be a mix of plain bearings and roller bearings plus the two
new Garhauer Marine Torlon Ball Bearing snatch blocks.

So far, you've gotten good advice. They are Merriman blocks. I've had
good luck taking snatch blocks apart, cleaning and lubing them. Do they have
Allen head screws?
Soak them in suggested solutions, dissaemble, clean and lube. You may need
to clean up the pin and hole with some ultra fine wet sanding.
As an alternative, look on eBay. There's usually a bunch for sale.

Greetings,
INDIGO has a set of heavy-duty snatch blocks for the jib sheets. The bodies
are solid black rummer and there is a trident stamp marking on the strap.
One of the block's shieves is seized; looks like it'll need new pins and
possibly a new sheive.
Any ideas who may have made this block, are they still available, and where
replacement parts may be obtained?
Thank you, Richard
