Hi Jim I had Blackline do mine in 2010. I replaced the rod with wire. They also installed radar on the mast, replaced corroded spreader tips, etc. Cost was close to $6,800 minus taxes.
Cheap compared to the cost of the new motor I'm in the process of putting in. By the way, we followed your model more or less on the installation of our windlass. That was a great help to see your installation. Didn't use it a lot this summer but it always worked well. Such a joy.

Initial estimate was $5K, full quote was $10K. I'm not sure what Plan B is at this point, that's double what I have heard from others who have done the switch from rod to wire.

The riggers were able to re-head all but the V2/D3, which had to be replaced because of aligning the top spreaders with the bend in the rod. The cost was about $5k for literally the best guys in the world to do it all.

I'm seriously considering going to wire instead of rod, but I'll get quotes on both Andrew, you're right, I want to pull the mast so I can take the collar off the deck, fix some voids, and rebed it, plus change all the fixtures and the wiring, and add spreader boots. Elkhide sounds good, I'll have to see if I can find some. I have cowhide and deerhide (I think) in storage somewhere. That brings up another thought, I'll start a separate thread for that.

I did that last year with mine and even though I though I made a hash of the job, you wouldn't know it from the deck! Mind you, I did start with the top set of spreaders first. It's a quick enough job that it can be done from a bosun's chair without earring yourself out.
