You should not need to replace the entire drum. Most likely you only need to replace the bearing pack. I paid $180 a few years ago. Kim C400 #249

I replaced the main bearing pack a few years ago. Relatively easy to do at anchor but does require effort and intimate knowledge of the furler. It seems unlikely the torlon bearings would crumble and

Outhaul rigging
Does anyone have a picture of how our outhaul on a conventional rig is set up? I had someone living in my boom and they chewed stuff up pretty bad. The reefing lines are good but I lost the aft end of

Changing the forestay
So I will be installing this new rigging myself. The shrouds are all straight forward of course however the forestay needs some consideration. If you opt to have the new wire swaged at both ends then

I'm having my standing rigging replaced this season. The "to-remain-nameless" boatyard I'm at will charge me a $250 contractor fee for the rigger to enter the yard to measure the rigging. I'm obviousl

Anchor Upgrade
I've had a Rocna 25 as my primary and a 44 lb Bruce as secondary. They live nicely together on the bow roller. The Rocna has 200' of chain. Never dragged and have been in some good blows in the Bahama
