Marty:
Yes. I got it. Loosening the tension on the jib after
use is a good idea but there is no point in leading
the halyard back if one has a furling system.
thanks.
What about the atomic 4 max RPM. I read last night
on-line (indigo 3 blade prop) that less than 2K RPM is
normal. I adjusted the clutch yesterday it was
slipping when throttled up. After the clutch
adjustment then the RPM is not reaching 2K RPM I think
this is a good sign meaning the clutch is not slipping
and the prop is loading the engine properly. To
adjust the clutch was a blind operation there is
almost no access to see, but I managed to do it and it
is fine now.
I got the instruction on how to do it from the MOYER
service manual in case somebody is interested.

to mention that on the "dog house" roof there is
also a small winch.
No need to leave the cockpit to raise the main: I
simply hand over
hand pull it up, and then give a couple quick wraps
on the winch and
crank her up the final 4 inches. Winch uses the same
handle as the
jib sheet winches. Very easy and quick.
I agree there is no need to raise and lower the jib
while sailing if
you have roller furling. I believe that loosening
the jib halyard
when finished sailing is suggested for roller
furlers.
