Re: Roller Furling Questions


 

Thanks for the reply. After posting this I called the Pompanette HQ and was
transferred to a very helpful lady. I was able to order my parts. I hope
the furler works well after I get them installed. It's an older one so I am
still interested to hear what other T27 Owners are using as I may upgrade to
new when I do a major refit over this coming winter.

Can you find a Hood distrbutor who is authorized by Hood to operate in your
area? That would be their domain.

I've been very happy with my Harken Mark III Unit 0 (3rd generation,
smallest keelboat size) roller furler. Mark IV is current generation.
Boat yard bent one of the foil pieces and the rigging outfit wanted to
replace the Mk III with a Mk IV because they didn't want to track down a Mk
III foil even though they are a Harken distributor/dealer so probably kind
of a jerk move but I tracked down Mk III foil from a different distributor
and had it shipped to them to save having to replace the whole thing just
yet. Trying to sort this out, I did also email Harken trying to figure out
what was still supported and which size I had (funny how marine hardware
never actually has a part number on it) and got a reply so props to Harken
for customer service.

Cheers,

I have a Hood 810 Seafurl LD on my boat. This is a new boat to me and
the roller furling is missing a couple of parts. I have reached out to
Hood to see if I can buy the parts I need but so far they haven't
responded. My next step would be to bite the bullet and buy a new
roller furling. I'd like to get some recommendations from the forum
here as to what you have and how yours has worked for you. If you can
recommend a roller furler that is currently in production that would be
helpful.
Thanks,
Paul
