HI Gary
There is a spare motor on board.
Did you try to run the motor with no load before you took it apart?
Are you getting power to the motor? If yes
If the brushes are good then it's most likely

Sorry you are having issues with the furler, but hopefully it will be an easy fix. If by chance find you have an issue with the gearbox, we carry a complete spare Leroy Somer gearbox, and

Hi Thomas,

The adjustment is not so accurate...

As Bill mentioned a slight turn on the nut will stop your leak. I would have someone cut a short wrench for you out of aluminum plate. There is a photo on kimberlites section in the photos

Re: Hawse pipe replacement
Mike, When I cleaned out the chain locker a couple of years ago I don't remember anything looking amiss. I can open it up and take some pics for you if you want to see what a '89 one looks like.
