The fitting you are referring to is called a retainer. It is required on
many boats with furler, if the halyard exits the mast too high.

If you look at the rudder tube (that surrounds the rudder post), there is a
grease cup. Unscrew it, and fill it with grease. then screw it back on and
give it a couple of turns as someone turns the wheel from one extreme to
the other. In most cases, that's all it takes to make the helm smooth
You get access to the belt by separating the two halves of the assembly
that is attached to the wheel.

I have a foot pump for sea water and a foot pump for fresh water. I can
also switch between fresh and sea water for my pressure water.

One thing you can do is just get liability insurance. Your boat won't be
covered, but you'll be insured if you damage another person's property.

Is it the black piece in the picture that you want to replace? I have
pieces that I removed from my old mast that might work. I can send you a
picture with dimensions.

Why do you pull the halyard into the mast? I've been sailing for more than
fifty years, and I have never done that on any of my boats. It's not
necessary.

That happened to me once. It turned out the wind instrument cable was
getting pulled into the sheave. Pull the halyard up or down to the point
where it's loose. Then try pulling the wind instrument cable down, from
where it comes out of the mast, until it is snug. Don't tug too hard. Then
try the
I have something similar on my boats. The teak treads are held in place
with two machine screws on each tread.

Don't rely on calculations. I ran a tape up the mast using the main
halyard, added the measured distance from the base of the mast to the
waterline, and added five feet to allow for the distance from the top of
the halyard to the top of the antenna in order to give me an accurate
measurement.
3M makes a fabric wheel (don't know what it's called) that can be used
after softening the lettering with a heat gun or hair dryer. Then use
General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner (also from 3M) that comes in a spray can.
