[C320-list] Schaefer 2000 Furler

[David Prudden]

Marko,
Schaefer Marine customer service has been excellent whenever I had a question-they’ll give you an honest solution, not just try to sell expensive parts. Give ‘‘em a call- it can’t hurt! (Well, maybe it hurts the wallet a little but you won’t know if you don’t call!)

Currently my main problem is that I have a least two major kinks at two of the joints, where the foils/sail extrusions join, they are connected with an 8" joint/ bearing inserts with 8 rivets. I tried to replace the rivets but the holes look oblong and there isn't a smooth flow. When I raise my swivel it stops at the joint. So my question here is do I replace the complete Furler or do I just replace the foil sections and purchase the connector joint bearing inserts and put in new rivets. If anyone has encountered this problem and solution options, like where to purchase parts or is Schaefer the only source. I'm located in Toronto area.
