💡 Why choose sealed ball bearings for marine blocks on sailboats? Sealed bearings keep contaminants out and keep the block spinning smooth. Here’s why sealed bearings are handy on deck: - Improved low-friction performance for easier trim and better load transfer using sealed ball bearing systems. - Longer service life in salty conditions; seals help prevent corrosion and grit from damaging races. - Compatible with ceramic upgrades and complements orbital bearing or linear slide unit setups.
