Hello Greg, I answered already Dieter about this a few weeks ago. You probably have a horseshoe mast NIRVANA type. Your swivel may be OK but the tube, which on this manual furler, is held by a needle

I too have the super wind 350. It has progressive geared self feathering that fully engages in winds over 40 knots. I got 10 years constant use before the bearings wore out and I replaced it. Nil

It screws into an Amel-made elbow on an Amel-modified Vetus sea chest. I am not sure, but the threads on the non-modified Vetus sea chest without the Amel-made elbow are 2" BPT
