1995 355 below deck furler

[TommmD]

Hello everyone, I just sold by C&C & bought a 1995 Legend 355, a very nice boat. Its moored in Portsmouth RI & I daysail Narragansett Bay with an occasional trip to Cutty or BI. That should be more often now.

My first questoni is the below deck furler, whcih threw me when I saw it, & again when I tried to replace the too-short furling line. I'm trying to see if there's any way to find the model # since its not listed in the owners manual. Most of the boat is original so I'm pretty confident it is too.

I'm having trouble working in the locker & being able to find how to remove the line to replace it. Hoping htat with a model # I can get an exploded diagram to help.

My second question has to do with the stacking of the line on the drum. With only a 110 on I have fond the line stacks in one spot & jams the drum before completely deploying. I pull it out by hand & allow it to restack ona low spot & all is fine, but obviously not a long term solution.

I'd welcome any thoughts,

Thx, Tom Drechsler

Hi Tom,
I have the same furler, a Profurl, should recognize it on their site. To replace the rope, you need to cut it since it is a loop, will have to learn how to splice, mine use a 7/16" rope. I just post a thread of a modification I made to make it easier to use. The thing works on a pressure patern, so always needs two hands.

Hope it helps a bit btw, mine is a 89 355, but they're suppose to be similar from 89to 95...

Robert .. do you happen to have a model #? I'm not seeing a loop as I only have a single line coming off the drum.

Right now its looking like I have to wait until this fall to pull the forestay off.

It is a Hood 810 furler I have had no issues with mine. Check for deck delamination where the furling line goes through it at the anchor locker.
