Re: Lubrication of the Mechanism That Drives The Main Sail Furling Unit
You might want to contact Ken from Aquarius who has three Youtube videos he made of how to rebuild the main sail manual furler. He used grease instead of oil to lubricate after rebuild. He also used the seal kit from Amel. Here's the link: youtube.com/watch?v=F0HIWBv1Pfc. I'm no expert but it seems like installing a lube fitting should work. Its apparently been done a lot on the gearbox for the electric furler. Regards Bill Shaproski Pacific Cool
Well darn, sometimes I think my old "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" policy is best. My newly refurbished manual mainsail furler, which I filled with heavy gear oil, is leaking onto the cabin top.
