Replace Hunter Rope Clutch

[krnuffda]

We were out this weekend in our new used Hunter 320 and one of the rope clutch handle broke off. We managed to open to clutch to lower the sail.

1. Triple clutch. Where can/should we buy?
2. How difficult are they to replace?
3. Any other helpful information welcomed

Thanks...Karen

Thanks. We will check with the vendor. The part is similar to the Hunter original.

When I broke a clutch handle on my 320 I thought about replacing the clutch but ended up ordering new handles and replaced them all. Worked great.

Replacing the handles was our first thought...

Where did you find the replacements?

...is the manufacturer. They have a complete parts inventory.

I have a 29.5 and the manual said it had a Gerhard clutch but in fact it had a easylock. Take a picture and compare it to an earlier post(copied next). RigRite has them.
