jib furling on 351

[keven]

Just brought a 1996 beneteau 351 and are having trouble with the jib furling drum. At the moment the top of the drum is seating above the deck and I am unable to connect the chain plate to the drum. Is this right or should the drum be lower...thou I have no more room left on the back stay turn buckle.

thanks for your response in advance

It would help if you told us what kind of furler.ix:

Most likely a profurl. On the 351 the genoa furling is mounted below the deck.

I may be on my boat tomorrow and the documentation that came with the boat was for a 351. I will see if the cross section is in the binder. Unless someone else gets back to you first.

Added cross section. Don't know if it helps?

Thanks joker for posting that...I do have the same picture just don't seem to have enough thread on the turn buckle to bring the drum down below the deck...Stu the furling system is Profurl....
