Continuous Line Replacement
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. Ryan |

Continuous Line Replacement
If you buy the new line at West, they will splice it for a nominal
charge. Splicing is more art than science, and you'll probably mess up enough line practicing to cover the charge. To install it, remove the screw that holds the 2 1/2s of the toothed thingy together, and pull them apart -- a small piece will drop out -- put it back with the open end toward the entrty/exit area of the sheave.

Thanks. I think I have to disconnect the forestay, using the jib halyard to
stabilize the mast, and slip it around the drum. Sound right? Ryan "Jim" wrote in message ... If you buy the new line at West, they will splice it for a nominal charge.

Yes, unless you can bribe the guy at West to do the splice on your boat.

Just curious, How exactly do you install an endless loop of line upside down
and backwards?? Pierre "JR" wrote in message m... 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?
