[C320-list] Good Seafurl furler

[Bruce Heyman]

Hi Jeff,
Sorry you are having trouble.  Not sure I'm following the issue and which cover you are having trouble with.  On our Schaefer (I think it is a 2100) has a drum which holds the furling line and is trapped by a top cover and bottom cover.   The line is attached to the drum through a hole in the top cover and I think held by a simple figure 8 stopper knot.   When we put a new line on we simply take the sheets off the jib, secure the jib with a sail tie and then rotate the jib in the right direction to wind on the new furling line.
Sorry if I'm not understanding the problem you are running into.
All the best,
Bruce

To all,

I am having trouble replacing mu furling line (I have posted about this before). I cut a slot in my lower stainless steel cover so I can remove the old line. Unfortunately, it looks like I will need to cut the entire lower cover off of the unit to be able to wrap the line and able to use it as intended. Any thoughts on this? I see the cover as decoration and it seems to me cheaper (and easier) to just cut the cover off then replacing the furler.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Jeff
