[C320-list] Close call CHECK THIS!

I think you misread the diagram. You would need to remove more than 
those screws to bring the mast down. The furler assembly itself does not 
support the mast. The forestay inside of it supports the mast, and is 
attached to the boat independently via a turnbuckle and toggles.

Last week when anchoring my wife discovered a screw laying on the anchor bracket/track that leads from the chain locker to the bow. It was one of 4 screws that hold the Schaeffer 2100 roller furling's drum housing to the torque tube, 2 of the screws were loose and one was missing. Looking at the parts diagram these 4 screws are what holds the whole lower assembly together meaning we came VERY CLOSE to a dismasting! I tightened the 2 screws, replaced the 3rd and will be buying the 4th today 1/4-20 x 5/8 according to the parts diagram. Of course they will ALL be getting blue Lock-tight.
