819 HOOD FURLER UPPER SPLIT BUSHING

[Rick.johnson]

Hi Guy's
I Have a 87 40ft Hunter
With a ( HOOD 819 furler ) on the front sail an what looks like that broke an lost
is the black split bushing on the upper half that slides up over the foil ( in the upper part of the furler )
Since it was giving me problems binding i drop the sail down
an only see one half of the black bushing thinking there should be 2 parts

Question is that unit ( lower an upper ) purchased as a set or are the picked for different application
So am I correct that the whole unit is HOOD model ( 819 )
Next Question where can I get parts an a owners manual for the model 819

Parts for the old Hood furlers are hard to come by, your only hope is either used parts or these people (they aren't making any new parts, may have some): https://pompanette.com/product-tag/hood-yacht-systems-furler-systems/

Check with pompanette first. It's definitely possible to 3D print or make one out of resin if needed
