blocks for mainsheet traveler
I have a raised mainsheet traveller that is installed above the cabin top
for my 28 foot sailboat. The manufacturer is Shaefer I believe. I noticed that the black plastic end pieces on either side of the traveller base are badly chiped, cracked, and otherwise appear to be about to fall apart. I was wondering if anyone knows if I can buy replacement parts for these. And if not, any suggestion as to how to repair. Frank |

Dam the inside with putty, wax the inside to allow eventual removal for servicing, mix up thick epoxy bog with chopped glass and UV protectant, mould into shape with fingers in disposable gloves, retain shape with masking tape or putty dam.
