Hi Bill and all experienced sailors who shared about lubricating the manual main sail furler on SMs.
After servicing it with all brand new seals etc. I was said by a former Amel employee to grease inside (I wasn't sure that he already serviced this part so I went through the recommended Omala S4 WE320 which I was able to source in UK ;-)
Once the system was re-installed, the lubricating oil started to leak from the cover (where the handle inserts) even with a brand new seal and a lot of precaution at installing it… (even after trying to glue it for better sealing)
Can you please confirm that I made some mistakes and that none of you had leaks with this lighter than grease oil? Or is it because I placed too much oil in the furler and that it'll stop soon or late …
Thanks a lot in advance for all insight about that before trying to remove (and replace) it again ;-)
