[Public-List] bolt at top of mast

[Tom S.]

Debra,

The bolt that holds the sheave as well as the side plates is 1/2 inch. 
It also holds the side stays. So I do not believe this would be your 
problem.

There are also two small plates (one in front and one behind) which 
might be what has come loose. These are held in place with 4 small sheet 
metal screws each and are  located above the sheave. You are probably 
going to need to make an exploratory trip up the mast.

It sounds like you may have a worn sheave.

Are you running a wire or rope halyard?
