There are numerous kinds of sailing systems, and the right boat block for you will depend on things like the size of the rope, the weight it needs to carry, where it will be mounted, and what it will be used for.

They make it easier to pull and give you more power.

You need to do regular maintenance on your marine blocks to keep them running well. After every sail, rinse them off with clean water to get rid of dirt and salt. Stay away from powerful detergents that could harm plastic or bearings. Look for signs of wear, corrosion, or stiffness on the bearings and sheaves. Use a marine-safe, non-sticky lubricant to make sure they turn smoothly.
When you're not using them or when they're in storage, keep the lines loose and the blocks dry. Replace worn bearings or sheaves before they break to keep them working longer. Taking good maintenance of your boat blocks will keep them operating properly and smoothly season after season. This will help keep your rig safe and responsive in all weather.

A snatch block features an opening side plate that lets the rope go in without having to thread it through the sheave. This makes it great for temporary rigging or towing jobs. A "standard block" needs to be threaded before it can be used, and it is usually set in place in the rigging system.
Pick your marine block dependent on the size of the rope, the amount of work it needs to do, and how it will be used. To keep wear to a minimum, the sheave should be a little bigger than the rope. The block's safe operating load should also be higher than the expected tension.
After every voyage, especially after being in salt water, you should check and clean your boat blocks. Bearings and sheaves should be lubricated regularly, and any signs of corrosion or wear indicate that replacement may be necessary for safe operation.
