Default 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

Default Profurl P40 Extrusions

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?

Default Profurl P40 Extrusions

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.
