Instructions for end splicing of braided line are available on line ,
just google. If you can't splice, here's a trick. Get your line
spliced at a rigging shop. Attach your jib halyard to the chain plate
and detach the roller furling. Put the line around the chain plate and
reattach the roller furling. Now, release the socket head screws that
hold the the lower shroud covering the sheave and place the line on
the sheave. replace the shroud and you're in business.

I have to change the continuous line on my Hood roller furler. Is there
instruction anywhere on splicing the line? Is that what I need to do? I got
the boat in July after Gatti Marine and Racine Riverside in Wisconsin messed
up the set-up (line installed backward/upside down). We struggled with it
waiting for the repair but Racine Riverside blew me off. Now in dry-dock,
the line could use a change, showing its wear. Any direction is much
appreciated. I'll no doubt have other questions as I seek to set her up
properly. Thanks.
