The original post started with changing the line, only mentioned splicing
once, and ended with the thought of changing the line.. You could splice the
line without changing it, but if the line is worn to the point that it would
need to be spliced, why bother? You might be able to disassemble the unit
without any visual aids, but it would probably be a good idea to call Hood
and have them send a free manual, if you don't want to pay for a replacement
line(continuous) then there are quite a few knot books on the market that
will show you how to do this. Better yet, call Hood and ask for the manual,
then ask the cost of the replacement line. You could then easily determine
if you wanted to use their replacement part or attempt to make your own.

I have a line-drive furler and the manual that came with it. If splicing
the
line is the main problem, the manual won't help. It doesn't describe how
to
do a splice.

I would contact Hood. I have a Hood furler on my Catalina, they sent me
a
manual free of charge.

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?
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.
