Edson’s Sheaves and Sheave Assemblies are available in Bronze or lightweight Hard Coat Aluminum (see charts for sizes), and are specially designed for use in wire rope steering systems for sailboats. The Aluminum Sheaves are ideal for the performance boat that requires sensitive, lightweight steering.The 4” sheaves run on oil impregnated bronze bearings, while 6” sheaves use bronze or stainless needle bearings. The larger (8”, 10”, and 12”) sizes in Bronze or Aluminum run on stainless needle bearings and liners for super sensitive action.
