Re: Stus-List Harken Roller furler

Danny, When my buddy and I install Harken furlers, all the fasteners get red threadlocker. That may be why the fasteners on the torque tube are tight. Touche' has a Harken Size 1 Mk III that was installed in 1999. Still works great. My buddy and I routinely replace other brands with Harkens.

Re: Stus-List Harken Roller furler

Ok, so the update... I took the sail down, removed the furling line and flushed everything with Dawn liquid soap and fresh water. I installed the newer furling line, I had onboard, that came from the main boom furler. I checked alignment from the drum and added a block to adjust that a bit

Re: Stus-List Harken Roller furler

“Ease the sheets, turn upwind, whatever but don't winch the furling line.” Actually, I find that turning downwind is much easier - no flogging sail, less force on the sheet and you might even shadow your jib with the main. Easy. Other than that I fully agree with Dennis. A big point: never use

Re: Stus-List Harken Roller furler

Can't emphasis enough that a good flush of the swivel and drum are important. I flush Touche's furler twice a year. Just did it last week, in fact. I can tell a difference before and after. Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA On Thu, Aug 10, 2017 at 9:35 AM, Dave S via CnC-List

Danny, If I recall correctly, Harken recommends a minimum divergence between the forestay and halyard of 7 degrees. Dennis C. On Thu, Aug 10, 2017 at 7:15 AM, Danny Haughey via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > So, I take pictures constantly of various parts of the boat and systems. >

Re: Stus-List Harken Roller furler

So, I take pictures constantly of various parts of the boat and systems. I went back through and found that the halyard being used is actually coming out of one of the spin sheaves. so, the first thing I'm going to do is get that back into the sheave right behind the headstay just below the

Re: Stus-List Harken Roller furler

I find my Furlex furler gets hard to wind the sail in when I have the jib halyard fully tight. If I ease the Halyard a couple of inches, it turns much easier. It is one more step when dousing the sail, but my halyard leads aft to the cockpit so it isn't a huge issue. I also suspect the furler

Re: Stus-List Harken Roller furler

Ok, so, I did check the swivel before raising the sail and it seemed fine. That was only about 3 weeks ago. I think dropping the sail and flushing is probably the best, 1st, line of action. Someone else mentioned maybe supporting the mast with the halyard and releasing the head stay and

Re: Stus-List Harken Roller furler

Mark has identified two probable culprits. Drop the sail and flush both the swivel and the drum. Flush liberally with water from multiple angles. Spray some McLube in both if you like. It's optional but a good idea. While the sail is down, inspect, as best you can, all the joints in the

Re: Stus-List Harken Roller furler

My old Harken furler was sticking 2 yrs ago - one day at an anchorage I decided to investigate by pulling the sail in and out a couple times by hand - the "stick" seemed subtle but suddenly a hundred Torlon balls rained down from the mast head! Seems my retaining ring clamp on the upper

Hello all, I'm having some trouble with my old Harken Roller furler. It seems to get stuck whne unfurling the sail. It doesn't take much to get it past the sticking point and I can still roll it in by hand without too much effort. I'm going down in Saturday to play around with it. Do any

You'll need to know the Unit and Mark. I'm going to guess it's a MK1. Is the drum guard chrome? If so, it's a MKI. Probably a Unit 0 or Unit 1. The Harken rep will help you identify it. Dennis C. On Tue, Sep 8, 2015 at 8:50 AM, Dr. Mark Bodnar via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: >

Had a catastrophic failure of my Harken roller furler today. Last 3 times out the furler has been sticking a bit - thought it got better with tightening my backstay, but then same problem again. Dropped the jib - furler spun freely with no sail so I figured I was catching something up top.
