Some older furlers required that you remove the drum to get to the end of the line to undo the knot.
IIRC there were 4 hex-head screws that held my original drum together (Mark 3?) which had to be removed to reach the knot. The line was threaded thru the drum and the knot was buried behind/inside the furling drum. Removing the screws allowed the drum to separate into 2 pieces. While the screws were captured in the half drums, the cover and bottom and their screws could easily end up in the water--as could the entire drum half so be very very careful working with whatever parts/pieces you undo!

I just pass the furling line through the hole, and tie a knot. Nothing more. Alan Bergen 35 Mk III Thirsty Rose City YC Portland, OR I need to replace the furling line in my Harken Unit 00 furler. I have the manual, but the instructions are very vague. I would appreciate any hints, if anyone of you have done this before. One more thing: the instruction call for securing the line with a “hog ring”. Is there an easy way of doing it? I am not about to buy a special tool and a load of 1000 fasteners to use just one. thanks for your help Marek C270, “Legato” in Ottawa _______________________________________________ Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go to the bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
