This Nautos 92369 is an in line double trough deck block with an aluminum sheave. It uses a conventional ball bearing design. The sheave is 28 mm across, the body is 130 mm long and 30 mm wide, and the mounting holes sit 108 mm apart. Working load is 258.55 kg with a breaking load of 907.18 kg, and the block weighs 63.50 g.

Our take

A 258.55 kg working load and a 907.18 kg breaking load set the limits for this block, so size your loads to the lower figure. Its 28 mm sheave sits in a body 130 mm long and 30 mm wide, and the whole block weighs only 63.50 g.

From our buying guide

Ball-bearing blocks give the lowest friction on lines running under moderate loads. Plain bearings have more friction, but handle very high and static loads.

Check before you buy:

  • A ratchet block is rated for the full sheet load.
  • Any becket's load limit suits the job, since a becket can be rated below the block itself.
  • A soft-attach block will be looked after, since Harken warns soft attachments are prone to wear and recommends them only for regularly maintained race boats.
