Date: October 9, 2020 at 9:01:34 PM CDT
To: figie47@gmail.comSo now that I sent that message I, of course, found the notes on the sheaves.
4 Main sheaves –
Diameter: 4.75”
Axle: 5/8”
Width: 5/8”
We reused the existing axle as it was in good shape. Doris is a fresh water boat.2 Mizzen sheaves –
Axle: 3/8”
Width: 1/2”
Can’t find the diameter measurementAttached are pictures of our notes page. These notes are from Spring 2004.

We purchased 6 sheaves from Zephrwerks
(https://www.zephyrwerks.com/) in Port Townsend WA in ~ 2006.We opted for all rope delrin sheaves. We’ve been very happy with them.
I can’t find the invoice right now but we should have the specs on the boat. We’ll look tomorrow.

Has anyone changed the masthead halyard sheeves on their ketch 424?If so do you have the specs?
Does anyone have photos of the masthead showing the sheeve set-up?
Main sail drops only half way down. I will clean the track, change the running rigging and change the sheeves.
Cleaning the track is a must and it’s time to upgrade all the running rigging.
If I do the job I might as well go all the way and upgrade the sheeves.
Thanks for any help you can pass along.

Hi all
We have hull number 178 built in 1981. We have owned her since 1997. We have the original W58. We put ~ 100hrs on the engine each year. We just changed the oil yesterday – EH 3884. We have love our engine. She is reliable and strong. Last year we had to pull a BaBa 35 across 350nm of Lake Superior – and she worked like a champ.
In 2012, we had the injectors reworked by an injector specialist, the valve timing checked and reset, entire engine repainted, replaced the exhaust heat exchanger because we couldn’t get the exhaust elbow off the exhaust manifold (due to a leak in the water injection elbow). At about the same time we removed the water cooling from the v-drive as it was leaking water into the casing of the v-drive. We’ve changed the oil several times and have seen no overheating issues and no longer have water in the oil. Several others have done the same to their v-drives with no adverse issues.
In short – if the engine looks good, and checks out it should last for a long time. One caveat to our story – our boat/engine has been fresh water boat for its entire existence.

How will this be any different other than giving you another buss bar?– patAttachments:

We have been pulled both with a crane and with a travel lift. We have never needed to pull either mast. On a smaller lift we did need to remove the fore stay once.
When we get home tonight I'll send you some links to pictures.Attachments:

It is as simple as a pigtail for 50A/125V boat end to 30A shore power cord
if you have a 30A pedestal.
On Jul 21, 2013 10:55 AM, “Paul Audi” wrote:Hi All,
More questions from the noob. I apologize in advance for my likely silly
questions.So my previous 424 had 50 amp shore power hook up. The new one looks like
it does too (based on the input in the cockpit). But the plug on the cord
looks like a 30 amp (male side; it’s even plugged into the shore outlet
that is marked 30 amp). Is it possible that someone has created a hybrid
cord? Is this bad?Also, I’m struggling to understand the nature of 50amp/125v versus 50amp
125/250v. Not sure which is appropriate for the P424 (though I believe it’s
50amp/125v). I’m very NON-technical, so a long electrical discussion won’t
help me. Mostly, I’d just like to understand what others are using on their
424s to get shore power to their systems. Ideally, I’d like to do this as
cost-effectively as possible.Could it be as simple as a pigtail adaptor at the boat input and then
using a standard 30amp cord for connectivity to 30amp show power?Thank you,
Paul

What about replacing your engine with a generator and considering e-pods?
