[C320-list] Roller Furling

[hcreech at comcast.net]

Allan, 
I had exactly the same problem, someone on the list offered this suggestion and it worked great, just like new. I contacted Schaeffer and ordered a lower drum assembly, $110.00 including shipping. Not a hard job, but took two hours and I did need another set of hands at the end to hold the foil. My roller furling rolls both ways like a dream and has never wrapped in the drum as well as it does now.

I have the Schaeffer 2100 furler system. The lower assembly has become 
almost impossible to turn. While it has not yet completely seized up, it is 
very close to doing so. I am assuming that the bearing traces have gone 
bad. Does anyone know if this is serviceable? Or do I need a new furler? 
And if a new furler, any recommendations on one that will hold up more than 
this one has? Thank you!
