Stainless steel single foot block for the Catalina 380 and 390, may have been used on other boat models like the Catalina 375.
It is important that a foot block be very strong. Since the genoa sheet typically enters a genoa car at about 45 degrees, the load applied to a genoa car is only about 30% of the load on the sheet. But a foot block, because it is mounted aft of the winch and turns the sheet 180 degrees, must withstand 200% of the load on the sheet.
Approximate Dimensions:• Length: 8"
• Width: 3-3/4"
• Height: 1-1/2"
• Bolt diameter: 3/8", carriage bolts (included)
1) When you order a special order item it sets off a chain of events like Willie Wonka in the chocolate factory. Once you turn the valve the chocolate is coming down the pipe. If you then decide you want caramel, the chocolate is still going to come out of the pipe. We can't put the Chocolate back in the pipe, so someone is going to have to eat it, and it's not going to be us! Your order can't be canceled, returned, or magically changed into caramel, so please order carefully the first time!
