Hi, Patrick, 
	I am in Southern California, and I had a company called Outbound Yacht
Services in Dana Point overhaul JACE's roller furling a few years ago.
It has worked great ever since.  They replaced some bearings, changed
the lead point for the halyard, and did a few other minor tweaks, and It
is really working well.  So if your furler doesn't have spots worn
through, that might be a good option.  I purchased a full set of
bearings direct from Profurl (I think that was the company, I don't have
my book here) over the internet, and it was much cheaper than I would
have thought.

Regards,
