Bill,


I have a Harken, original equipment, circa 1984.
I do rinse the drum by aiming a stream of fresh water at the drum which I thought would rinse the bearings.  I need to look more closely to see where I'd direct a stream straight up the forestay under the drum.


I'm off today for a 2 day trip around Catalina on my friend's C380.  Plan to check out his newly installed Raymarine C70.  Lots of fun buttons to learn to push.  And wow, have the prices on that product dropped dramatically in the last few months.  A new version must be imminent.


Thanks,
Arnold

Arnold,
                It is also a good idea to rinse out the bearing on your self furler drum. While you are at it. The newer ones have flush holes.  The older ones you must direct a stream straight up the forstay under the drum.

Bill,

 

Most excellent advice, thank you.

I have, on past occasions done so, but neither I nor the PO have done as you have so thoroughly described.
