Great timing for these posts. I am in the process refitting a Sharki and currently have the furling gear box in pieces in my basement. Thank you for the tip on the gear oil. Another question? The electric furling motor has been working fine But I would like to buy a spare. The problem is the current motor has no makings left on it to be able to track down a replacement. Any help on this would be appreciated. Tom Fisher Yacht, SHEILA Sharki #142 Kingston, Ontario, Canada

I have used a Castrol very heavy grease in the past which was OK but have found Alvenia (I hope that spelling is right) a pourable low temperature grease to be better. I think it is made by Shell. It is not expensive and fills both the upper chamber (accessed through the rectangular side plate) and the lower chamber (accessed through the round bottom plate). It can be topped off with a funnel through the top filler hole. I don't think it is advisable to mix different types of grease.

I don't have any documentation. Does anyone have experience and/or documentation for this? I'm guessing that I can just add 90W gear oil, but the existing oil almost looks like grease and maybe should be changed.
