I bought a pair of 40SN at Strictly Sail, Chicago. They are nice pieces
of equipment. They are my consistent use snatch blocks. My Redwing 35
doesn't have cars like the 36 so my Jib sheets go to the snatch blocks
on the inboard track.

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 is now standard equipment from many U.S. boat builders
including 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
