Well worth shopping online, these are pricey. West Marine most likely does have sub assemblies if you want to rebuild it. At least you can touch it and see it before you buy ( if you have one close). Sometimes WM is the last resort. I’m old enough to remember the smell of tar in real chandlerys. Now, the smell of polyethylene and nylon...but I love my little plastic boat. Ed

If you can find a local chandlery, maybe they will be able to help you. I will suggest taking your broken block into the store to get as close a match as you can find. Much as I try to avoid the big box of boat stores, West Marine, they do carry an assortment of blocks. Steve M-15 # 335

Hello fellow sailors!
I have an older m15 that needs a new mainsheet block. The current one attaches to the step in front of the cabin (as most do) but the bearing housing has split. I epoxied it back together but it has started to split again. It still works, but it sure makes me nervous in a blow.
Any suggestions for a new one?
Many thanks for your collective expertise!
Chris
