Profurl P40 Extrusions
 

Folks,

I have a Profurl P40 with a broken extrusion. Actually the unit has
been up since the early 80's and I can't seem to get it apart.

Does anyone know where I can get replacement extrusions? Or if the
extrusions for other Profurl models will work as a substitute?

Many thanks,

Howard

Isn't there a small screw that locks them together?
I have some extrusions from a Profurl, don't know the #
offhand, it was taken off a 1986 , 30' boat. I can look this
w/e.
Where are you?

Scotty,

Yes, small set screws, but they were jammed tight after 20+ years of
service. To make matters worse the boat is in Nova Scotia and I'm
Philadelphia. The wife says I can have a mistress if I keep her far away
and don't talk about her. So I go up for a month in the summer and take
a trip.

I did not have time to fiddle around with the furling they way I would
have liked to and, in desperation, ended up buying a new Harken system.
Next year I'll make another go at getting the damn thing apart, if I
can't find extrusions.

Of course, now that I have the new Harken, why do I need an old ProFurl?
It just seems wasteful to throw away a good unit.

Naw, I'm a skin-flint - NYC - Northern Yacht Club in North Sydney.

The club burned down and they rebuilt it. Now they are working on the
docks. Got their priorities straight! Great group of guys.

Nice update to their web site. I came through there last year. Good
facility.

Unfortunately I'm done for the season. Vacation gone.

Good luck and enjoy.
