Re: Mizzen furler gearbox, A54 peculiarity?
Randall Walker
Thomas, There were 2 sets of Delrin bearings 1st set just under the bottom cap and the other in the top. My furler took 2 hands and great force to turn. Just like in the Delos video. If you look at the one picture you can see the place where the Delrin bushings in the cranking shaft with the gear, has eroded and that is where all of the stiffness is coming from. I can only say that the 2 holes in my furler bottom go all the way through. I intend to make a start to finish video of this. It was incredibly simple and now the furler moves like new. Cheers, Randall
