Not sure if my previous post went through, but I am needing some guidance
and suggestions on maintenance/lubrication of the corkscrew device for
in-mast furling. The track along the boom does not provide any resistance, but
cranking the sail in is taking more effort than usual, even when the winds
are completely calm.
I have used SailKot on the ball-bearings on the headsail furling unit and
that keeps that unit operating well. Is there something similar to do with
the mechanism housed inside the mast?
Thanks.
