Ericson 25 Hernando Beach
I have an Ericson 25' with a roller furling system I can not identify. I've owned the boat 30 years; built 1974. Roller furling system came with boat. Need help identifying and how to repair/maintain. Anyone with suggestions...I'd appreciate.

We do need photos to help you. I do know that CDI made furling systems for smaller boats and wonder if that is what you have.

Just by age and make of boat, I'll guess HOOD.

Man, we've gotten bored as heck this January when we start just guessing what kind of furler may be on someone's boat..:)

Kermit hit it on the nailhead about a photo of the system plus we do not know when it was installed. Most small boats did not have furlers until the mid 80"s

Hopefully I'm successful uploading fotos of the roller furling system on my Ericson 25. Can anyone identify, anyone knowledgeable re maintainance?

I think my Oday 222 had one of those when I bought it, but it's long gone. I recall seeing one at Bacons, so I'll look next time I'm there.

Update: Just back from Bacons, and they no longer take in rigging equipment. They had only one furler left, not yours.

Exactly the same on thing on my bow,but I don't know make or model neither.
Lightly grease the top with some white grease,and be careful to keep right side up when disassembling,don't let the little balls escape.:cussing:

Kind of similar to my old Schaefer. I bet your headsail has a cable in it's luff. These are non-reefing type furlers.
