Nice work on the furler Ricky. You're going to be glad you put the extra grease in when you start sailing. That little extra bit of care will pay big in the future. Have a good week.
Hello Sailing Lady Africa: I just want to say thanks for the Videos. It teaching me all about repair Sailboats and hope someday I can use all I learn to my Sailboat someday thanks
Ricky! you're at it again my boy. You must not like your eyes. Grinding , hammering metal shards, think Safety and wear your damn safety glasses! One accident is too many, so always protect yourself. Work safe!
Thanks for the great video guys. I was a helicopter mechanic in the US Marine Corps, so you know that I really appreciate all that greasy bearing R&R. and cir clip removal. OF course we had all the right tools for the job, like bearing pullers and installers. Incidentally, the rotor head on our aircrafts was held down with a large heavy duty nut. We called it the Jesus nut. Can you guess why.
Reminds of many years ago when I had to replace the wear-sleeve on the Jet-drive of my ski boat; had to put it in the freezer over night and then warm up the housing with a torch. You'd have about 60 seconds to pound the sleeve into the housing before it would start to expand.
Never too much grease. We used to buy new dirt bikes (not KTM, not that lucky), take them home, dissemble and repack all the bearings with proper grease before we ran them. Amazing how dry those bikes would ship. Never too much grease. Enjoy the hell out of your channel.
thanks for the informative video,i was just searching on the net the other day on how to service my facnor furler and found nothing about how to disassemble. you might also want to replace some of the nylon inserts that go at intervals inside the foil to keep it aligned with the forestay. i found some of mine were a bit worn,and the furler is only 3 years old.
Kind of a curiuos question. In your redo of the interior and exterior,, what percentage of ply to nycor to that closed cell green foam did you use?? I,ve seen one channel where it was mainly nycor and another it was green foam.
It all depend what is your application. Some areas where we required strength we used nidacore. Such as our counter tops and swim deck but where we required just a light finish we used the lycell (green foam)
