Standing & Running Rigging and Fitting/Tuning / P32 Adding a Furling Rig

« Last post by J.Twighlight on January 06, 2026, 01:22:10 PM »

Have an opportunity to purchase a "slightly used", Harken MK IV Roller Furling Rig. Any recommendations on furling rigs for 1980-P32, currently configured with a "Tuff-Luff". Still like to race, but anticipate much more cruising time. TY!

Happy New Year !

Boats still high and dry, small details to wrap engine (throttle-xmission cables, coolant recovery tank. Winters settled in, convinced myself a good idea to delay launch until March. Hull, rudder clean, prep and paint needs attention. I was was really looking forward to starting the engine for the first time! I stepped-up the exhaust hose diameter from 1 1/2" (M15, 11HP) to 2" (M25, 22 HP). The exhaust riser was build with a 2" output flange.

Concerned I may have mucked-up the exhaust "back-pressure"... ?
The hose run is approx. 15 feet, riser to transom.

picture after recent haul, 9/25. had been in water for 3 years.

Greetings - I just joined this group since I recently closed on a 1988 Pearson 36-5 in the mid Chesapeake Bay. I’m excited to learn from what y’all have done, learned, and encountered over your time aboard your Pearson.
