I need to replace the jib furler line. it snapped last summer while under sail, so I did a quick emergency knotting. So, now is the time to replace it.
But when I look at the drum.... I have zero idea how to go about it.
There is no name on the drum so I don't know the model/maker.
I can't see any obvious bolts or screws to remove to get the housing off and I'm very reluctant to start tearing this thing apart.
Youtube and the net so far are not helping me figure this out.
I have to think some of you folks have been through this.
I attach the only photo I have of it. (please ignore the sleeping, seasick/hungover teenager in the forground). just enlarge the picture to see the drum details.
Seeking advice.
Thank you,
Mark
