Hi,
If it is like the new MkIV it should ride on the wire ( about 5/16 from the
swage end ).
Looking at your pictures looks like it is a pretty old model, maybe a new MkIV
would be a good thing ( especially at the 1,200 price).
The new MkIV is essentially a do-it yourself kit, including everything (
shackles, pre-feeder, 3M 5200, syringe , 55 feet line etc ).
On my 27 MkIII I used a 7/16 toggle and will install a restrainer this year (
need a shim to sit well on the mast ).
I also replaced my forestay ( 7/16 ), following Harken recommendation.
Depending of which sails you currently have, le luff tape must be number 6 (
5mm ) , 6mm can fit with a lot of lubrikote :-)
Harken installation manual is top notch( plan to read it 2-3 times ).
A nice unit but expect ti use some "power" to furl a new sail completely ( so
only the sacrificial sunbrella is exposed to the sun). That may be because I
have 7oz FlexP genoa, quite stiff sail.

Thanks Dennis
Rides on the barrel of the swage.
I wonder if I can trim this down? I didn’t think by looking at the info
available online that it should ride on the forestay.
I’m ordering a new genoa within the next two weeks .... so now’s the time
to fix this.
Here are some pictures:

That forestay needs to be replaced and currently there is no halyard
restrainer either. Discussing those with a rigger right now. Of course I could
just replace the furler as well ....I’ve gotten some info on new ones. I can
get
a Mark IV Unit 0 for under $1200. Toggle and restrainer and forestay would be
additional to that. Or a Furlex for about $1600 that includes the restrainer
and
forestay.

Peter,
I
don't think my buddy and I have any parts for a Mark 1. I will check with
him tomorrow. He may have something in his "gold pile". We haven't
worked on a Mark 1 in a long while.
Last Mark 1 I worked on was basically
an upgrade to the newer extrusions to get rid of the roll pins.
As for
the top cap, is the top of the extrusion riding on the barrel of the swage eye
or on the wire?
