If you magnify the images, easy to do on a Mac, the bearings themselves are severely damaged. In fact, if the cages are intact, a bearing supplier may be able to supply just the rollers. You might also be able to cut up some stainless steel rod and make your own. It’s a slow speed bearing so

Kevin, I've had good experience with ARCO, however if you choose not to deal with ARCO, you can look local. Have you tried a local bearing supplier? In my area we have a lot of industry, hence a couple of large bearing suppliers. A dock neighbor needed a bearing for an old no name roller

Charlie, As far as Garmin is concerned, I am traditionalist and I like the MapSource the best. If you insist on using an iProduct, you are somewhat out of luck (you can use BaseCamp, I believe, but I cannot guarantee results). But it works very well on any Windows PC and, as some other listers

Lumens are only one factor among many. Beam width is also a consideration. Lots of lumens in a wide beam may illuminate deck, lifelines, etc. and blind the user. A less powerful but more focused narrow beam may reflect less from the boat but may be less valuable in finding marks. For instance,
