Same number held my 25 hp outboard nacelle onto the boat. About 8 wraps of doubled uni strands holds my composite headsail track on. It will fit like a glove and be very strong, if a little unconventional. At the end fasten in place with a few tapped machine screws. Wrapping the epoxy saturated strands around the swivel and then over a shackle and back again, like you were lashing it on.

Garhauer rigin manual boom vang (2001), spinnaker pole, four line clutches on cabin top. Sail inventory includes Hood mainsail, roller-furling headsail, roller-furling staysail, and drifter. Alado roller-furling system on headstay, Seafurl 5 roller-furling system on staysail stay. If you wanted a backup to any welding, you could wrap the top of the swivel in one ultra long single uni strand. Cutter rigged with aluminum keel-stepped mast. I have been using chopper gun strands for years now to make hinges for my folding cats and it is very strong. It sounds a bit strange but if this was mine I would consider glassing it. No doubt they are just stainless bearings out of a catalogue but I was running out of time to source them. I got a little screwed when I got the Hood bearings. I sent it off to a local retired engineer who pulled it apart and rebored fastenings and got it going nicely. Sometimes one gets damaged in a collision and insirance pays for a new one.

Our local rigger here in Lake Mac has (or had when I was last in) quite a few pretzeled furlers lying around. Gday Twodogs You might consider talking to some riggers too. PM me if you are interested and I can send you pics, specs etc. Maybe Furlex still sell that foil extrusion section. I will sell it to any Seabreezer for $1,000 + freight or I put it on the bay or the tree for $1,500 +. That may be a tad short for your Mottle 33 but from your pics it looks like the foot of your sail is well above deck. It is complete, in good condition (a lot better than that one you have), it has a twin luff groove foil and the luff length is 11.07 meters. What is the thoughts of the brains trust? twodogs, I have taken the older model Furlex furler off my Lotus 9.2 and am not putting it back on as I don't think it is relevant for a little old 30 footer or to the type of sailing I will be doing. I am thinking I will be best to replace the whole furler as either I won't be able to get a new top swivel if I can get one the cost of it and fitting I might be best to just replace the whole unit.
