Call Guido. These things are pretty much guaranteed forever. Used to have “Guaranteed to XXXX” etched right on the block. Wouldn’t surprise me if they gave you a new one.

Though last Friday while approaching Orient Point LH in following sea and 20+ kt gusts I heard a bang. That metal on metal sound you don't want to hear on a boat. The 60-13UB block blew out. Body is there but sheave and all associated bearings and what not gone. Gunna buy a new one.

Every piece of hardware on the 38 is Garhauer except the OEN backstay adjuster and the Harken rachet block on the furling line. On my 25, the OEM traveler is still there, but everything else is Garhauer. I’m not so much afraid Garhauer will raise prices. I worry that all our good comments will alert more boaters to high quality, super customer service, and low prices and they won’t be able to handle the resulting value when folks switch away from Harken and Lewmar.

I've found this not to be completely correct. If you really want ball bearings, you can talk to Guido and he will make them for you (same price). They prefer to sell the plastic ones because many customers have had trouble installing or removing the cars and losing bearings (they don't float). He said there's not a significant performance difference between ball bearing and plastic, but conceded that the ball bearings were slightly better. I ordered the ball bearing version and am very happy with them. If your are careful installing them, they are easy to install and work very well. Garhauer makes bullet proof stuff at a very reasonable price. I have no affiliation with Garhauer Marine or any of their employees. I'm just a happy customer that has purchased many products from them.
