One of the pullys on my triple main sheet system (57mm) has a major crack and lost the bearings. I was trying to find the replacement at the Harken site and online sites, and the cheapest I could find was $100. I did find a Nautos triple block with swivels for $50. Any thoughts on how Nautos compares to Harken?
Thanks-

They're pretty comparible with the harken carbo blocks from what I can tell. I have some smaller nautos jib blocks that work really well. -

I just bought a 7:1 Harken Carbo Ratchet set and the Nautos 6:1 set up. The Harken is a touch nicer but there is not a thing wrong with the nautos. For less than half the price, the Nautos is a great bargain. Their customer service is top flight and they ship instantly via priority mail.
The Nautos set up, shipped to Cali was $147.00 for the triple base with cam and the top triple.
Let me say that I have only about three hours on each set. I really cant see the Nautos giving any problems though.
