[C38] ROLLER FURLER

[William Knowles]

Rob I just put a Furlex on our boat and it works
great. But here is an eye strap at the top of your
mast that holds the halyard down Lots of installers
leave this part off as they feel it is not needed. It
is and it keeps  the halyard from jamming the unit
when furled. Harken makes a strap also I recommend you
put it on any system you choose if it doesn't have
one.
