an old trick to keep ball bearing balls in place it use grease to hold the balls. Try it or use some other stuff you can wash off you you don't make a mess after the fact.Richard and Joan on SM 209

The shackle cracked and broke that secures the outhaul line and sail to the car. When I inspected the shackle on the main outhaul, I found it cracked. You may want to check yours. It appears that the Mizzen outhaul car has to be removed to replace the shackle because the top of the car must be removed to allow the shackle-retaining pin to be removed. The car halves are secured with 4 bolts and nuts. I assume that as soon as I separate the halves that I will have bearings falling everywhere. I now wish that I had a small pieces of track to enable removal of the various cars. Also, I noticed on Anatal's website that the 4100/SH (the NEW replacement for mine) allows the removal of the shackle without separating the car halves. If you have experienced this failure, any suggestions would be appreciated. I uploaded a photo in the "Rigging" folder of "Photos" on this website.

Highly reccomend McLube. Its dry, clean, & works incredibly well.
Great used on sails to seal & makes them easier to furl in the mast. Ric Gottschalk Bali Hai SN24 On Oct 22, 2009, at 6:26 PM, Richard Piller <richard03801@...> wrote: an old trick to keep ball bearing balls in place it use grease to

HI all you ball bearing dropers. the reason you to a grease like for example silicon is hold the balls so they don't fall out. You can also look around a local rigging shop of piece of track that might fit the bill. Don't worry if it is not quite right it just has to hold the balls.Richard and Joan Sm 209
