About 2 weeks ago, I received 2 new exit blocks from CD. In the box came little note, telling me how big the screws and holes in the mast need to be. Well, without thinking about the little piece of paper, I let the Admiral use the box. Does anyone know, off hand, how big teh screws need to be? CD isn't open until Tuesday, otherwise I'd call them.

Cheers,
Gene

They came from CD, and don't have brand imprinted on them that I can see. CD is closed until Tuesday, so I can wait if no one has the answer. No big deal. Thanks anyhow.

Cheers,
Gene

Frank - the exit blocks from CD are an exact fit for the mast on an '89 then? My sheaves are pretty bad and I was going to replace the whole exit block with these if I don't have to alter the mast.

Thanks.

The thin aluminum of the mast doesn't hold threads well. Mine were stripped out in 3 of 4 holes. I replaced them with aluminum rivets.

on a related note; has anyone replaced the sheave in the original block?
I see on WM site they have some but don't catalog the avail sizes. My original white plastic sheave crumbled, and I thought I might drill it out and replace with a metal one.
