Default ProFurl vs Harken roller furling, any opinions :)

The set screws for the extrusion sections on my NC32 came pre-coated with
some type of hard sealant coating (green), with instructions to not use any
other sealants when assembling it. My rigger had assembled quite a few
Profurl units, and said that they had no problems with them (I didn't buy it
from him). Can't speak to longevity myself since the whole assembly spent
less than a year on the boat before decommissioning and being shipped to the
Great Lakes, and I've still not put it back in the water. And when it does
go back next year, it will be fresh water.

I've heard about the problems with the seals and bearings. Only an
idiot would put ss screws into an al extrusion without protection.
