Thanks; but I was thinking more of the actual steps of removing the old line
and putting the new one in. I.e. where are the set screws? Do I need to take
the drum off? Any special tools needed? etc.
On my old boat, I had a Furlex and it was simple – there was a set screw (you
needed a torx
On my Harken furler the line goes down through a small hole near the
center of the rope drum, I just feed it through and put a figure eight
knot in it. The knot has to be tight to fit into the space below the
drum, but that's all there is to it.

Three years ago I painted my black pedestal with rustoleum semi gloss black.
Still looks great. Taped everything off, used lots of plastic dry cleaner bags
to protect fiberglass, wind less morning and multiple thin coats.

I have a Harken mkIII furler. Really simple for me: unfurl Genoa untie figure 8
knot, remove old line, insert new line, tie figure 8 knot, go sailing or furl...
Nothing to remove or unscrew..

Same on my old Harken furler. Have to rewind furler each time I change my

I used Rustoleum spray. If I had spent more time in prep, it would look very
good, as it is, it is covered and has been on for about 3 years. Rough it up
and spray, then sand and do it again (I didn't, that is why mine looks the way
it does).

Without going through the 99-step process described on the Edson website for
painting a pedestal, what products / methods have proved successful? The
pedestal isn’t coming out of the boat.

Not at all. Farron at Beta told me that their engines all met the new emissions

I painted my black pedestal in '03 with Matterhorn White, Brightside. It held
up well but had to be brushed on and took hours to dry. The key is to sand with
a course enough paper it creates a mechanical bond. Then wipe down with the
recommended thinner before painting. If you are outside,
I’m curious to see what kind of speed everyone gets on their 37/40. It is
interesting to see that some listers get over 7 knots. I’m lucky to get 5
knots at 2500 rpm. Above that rpm, there is not much of a noticeable change in
speed, just noise.
Here’s what Patriot has:

Chuck,
How many coats did it require to cover the black? I'm thinking about doing
the same thing. Have a little two-part polyurethane left over from the
spars painting project last spring.

A boater escaped unharmed after his 50-foot sailboat caught fire on Lake

The sailboat was about 3.5 kilometres away from the Canada/U.S. border when
the operator detected smoke coming from inside the vessel. He was
unsuccessful in attempts to extinguish the fire. The man,
My Harken 01 uses 5/16 line and a figure eight knot works fine to keep the
line in the drum.
Found the manual online and if it is the same model, a knot would work for you
too.

Thanks for all the help.
Actually, the manual you referenced has much better pictures.
I tackled the job this evening and it is much easier than one would think.
There is a hole in the hub of the drum. The tricky part is to pass the line
through that hole, because it has to make a 90
It is incredibly easy once you know how to do that. Btw. as someone mentioned,
there are multiple opportunities to let some parts drop in the water.

My Harken furler is not the same Unit 00 but replacing the line is easy.
With the sail furled disconnect the tack of the sail from the drum, pull
the furling line completely off the drum and undo the stop knot (I use a
figure 8) measure the length, get a new line a few feet longer, same
Some older furlers required that you remove the drum to get to the end of the
line to undo the knot.
IIRC there were 4 hex-head screws that held my original drum together (Mark 3?)
which had to be removed to reach the knot. The line was threaded
thru the drum and the knot was buried
Tracy,
I wish I could come close. Do you happen to know what pitch your prop is set
for?

It just seems odd that I never hear about “Mercruiser 5.7 liter exploded” or
“PleasureCraft Marine V6 exploded” but someone always talks about A4s exploding
although AFAIK no A4 has ever exploded in the history of gasoline engines. Now
the fuel might explode, but given the craptastic materials
I assume the references to an A4 is in regards to the CC 30, not the 50-footer.
A couple years ago one of our local marine mechanics set fire to a boat a
friend of mine owns ... the result of not ensuring a propane torch was properly
shut off when not in use. Not an A4. No explosion but $$$ of
…2 bladed prop is really that inefficient or my pitch should be changed.
My experience on OPB (other people’s boats) with 2 bladed MAX props is they are
not inefficient. Calypso has a 3 blade mostly to reduce vibration. If I had
to replace the prop I would buy a 2 blade MAX prop.
Above that
I used simple dacron braided and stripped the core for the line that wraps on
the furling drum. It helps lay the line flat and reduces problems in the drum.

Contact cement should work as well but best to buy the real glue.
Ive done a lot of patching on PVC and hypalon. In my experience it needs the
following to guarantee the bond.
1. Clean sanded surface(both)
2. MEK to soften the hypalon before applying the glue(aceton dries too
