OK to change the fore stay to wire when installing a Harken furler. I removed a Hood Seafoil (twin slot rod) from my boat in 1999 and replaced it with a Harken furler and wire forestay. No issues.
Re-head the rest of the rod rigging and keep it rod. Rod rigging generally fails at the head. The rod is most likely still OK. The rod can be coiled to no LESS than 200 times rod diameter and shipped for re-heading. -- Dennis C.
