I don't have the receipt anymore or the packing slip and it is not on their website.  I think they called it a triple fairlead or triple bullseye.  They asked what kind of boat I had and the year so I think it is a pretty common request.  I would just call it in.

Just thought I'd follow up on this one to finish the thread in case someone searches for this in the future.  I did call Gaurhauer and they knew exactly what I was talking about and sent two out for a very reasonable price.  The hole was pre-drilled and tapped and lined up perfectly.  I had to drill the old one out though because the machine screw was seized and stripped out. 

Thanks!

I wont know for sure until I take them off but from the pictures I took I really need to check it out.  My other chainplates looked better but still had some rust on them.  I used a wire wheel to clean them up and they turned out to be fine.

Main Message Board / Backstay Chainplate replacement
April 13, 2015, 12:02:54 PM
Gang,

So I've inspected and rebedded the upper and lower chainplates and made my way to the backstay chainplates to check them out.  I stuck my camera in there to take a picture first and it looked really rusty so I will be taking them out and checking or replacing.  I couldn't find anything on Catalina Direct so here I am.  Has anyone replaced their backstay chainplates and where did you get your replacement, etc?  Can you buy a "blank" from WM or some other rigging co?

Thanks for the tip.  I'll call over there...I got some other stuff to order from them too.

Hey Gang,

I am running the reefing lines aft to the cockpit and have already installed the rope clutches and have the deck organizers on order but I'm looking for a good way to run the line under the traveller like the mainsheet and main halyard.  There are two pad eyes or bullseyes under the traveller that look like they could be swapped for a triple but I can't find anything online or at the local stores.  My guess is that they aren't avaiable, but Im sure I'm not the only one to do this.  Anyone know where to get a triple thingy or do people route them against the traveller base.  I have  flap in the dodger that would be better for the line to go through if it was close to the other two.  Here's a pic.
