Here is the better of the two failed sheaves that caused all of the problems for the centerboard. The other sheave was just dust. It's amazing that we didn't notice more difficulty earlier. These sheaves were made by Edson as steering gear, and were never intended to be used below the waterline. Twenty-eight years of salt water exposure has taken its toll.
