The little white “pulleys” on my traveler are disintegrating. Yesterday I tried to unscrew them but had no luck – even with PB blaster and a good impact driver. The screws just turned.
Is my assumption correct that I have to remove the traveler from the deck to get at a nut on the backsides?Thanks – Eric

Hi Eric,
Many other owners have made a cut in the pylons that allow access to the inside. By cutting about 1″ from the edges on the outboard ends, you should be able to use a saber saw and then reach in. To finish the raw metal edges, you can purchase edging from an auto parts store or from Defenders.

You’re flogging a dead horse there. The original traveler that Pearson used was a piece of junk. If you can afford a boat unit, you might consider replacing it as long as you are planing to work on it.—

I agree – check out Garhauer. They've made a number of travelers for the 424.

Good luck! Have fun. This will be one of the least expensive jobs you do.
