[C320-list] Main furler final update

Thanks for all the help on the siezed control line screw issue.
I wound up removing furling screw assembly from the mast. After days of soaking with kroil (kroil has never failed me before), I had to snap off the screw, put the assembly in a drill press and drilled all the way through. Now instead of tapping for another future failure, I nut and bolted through to put pressure on control line and used some tie wire through rope and around back to bolt for extra insurance, along with leaving a few wraps on the furling screw assembly at all times. A better plan than tapping aluminum for a SS screw to sieze for the next guy.
NOW I can say I have replaced ALL of my running rigging. Lol.

That way I can heat the hot water tank without running the engine. So yes, the hot water heater can be ?bypassed.?

During previous ownership the water heater had failed and been completely removed and not replaced by the previous owner.? They just simply connected the 2 hoses in a loop under the galley sink after removing the heater.?
> When I replaced my water pump, I went one step farther and disconnected the old hoses on the engine.? I instead installed a short loop of heater hose at the engine.? I curled up the old hoses to the heater in the engine compartment just in case a new owner might want to install a new water heater. Everything has worked fine with my engine since then.
