I do not have a halyard restrainer but I do need one. It is in my chart table waiting to be put on. Having said that I generally do not use my roller furler as I primarily race the my boat.
FYI, Harken recommends the following to prevent halyard wrap: 1. Halyard swivel should be within top 4–6" (100–152 mm) of foil unless a halyard restrainer is used. 2. Halyard must pull slightly to rear (8–10°). 3. Halyard must be snug, but not too tight. As a note I am a rigger and while both the Harken and the Schaefer restrainers seem to work equally well I prefer the Harken as it has a sheave and should reduce wear on the halyard.
