Can someone recommend a good web link with instructions on how to do an end splice for double braided line, (sta-set X). My roller furler has a single line that feeds through the drum and the existing line splice is slowly failing. thanks

Splicing Instructions
This site has the instruction for most types of rope including double braid.

END splice?
Do you have a single line on a drum or a continuous line? Single line furlers generally do not have a need for an END splice. The rope at the drum is knotted or clamped, you might want to end splice the bitter end instead of whipping. If you have a Hood Line Drive or another furler that uses a continuous loop of line, what you want is a constant diameter end for end splice. New England Ropes has a set of instructions for either splice. Hood used a simplified version of the end for end splice, but the NER splice is stronger and works very well in the Hood furlers.

I used this one.
Look at the end for end splice - Constant Diameter. The constant diameter is what you need for the furling main so it will pass thru all of the clutches without binding.
