On my 1989 Hunter Legend 37, the main halyard is likely 1/2 inch, maybe a little thicker and well worn. I have the original rutgerson clutches with the white handle tips. When I release the main halyard and open the clutch all the way, it will not stay open. As the line plays out, it immediately closes the clutch just enough to stop it. I have to hold the clutch open to drop the main. This is a problem when single handling.
The other clutches don't do it, but the lines look thinner.
Anyone have this issue or advice?
