Hi folks,
I found another post in the Hunter Sailing Assoc #1 forum that exactly describes my problem, and even has a video demonstration.
A few others chimed in on that thread reporting the same problem. But, no solutions. I added myself to that thread, but that is a pretty low traffic group.
I have a new to me boat with no maintenance records. Since my sails are down, I decided to lube the furler. It was working normally when I started (sigh). Read the manual and watched a Youtube video. Looked easy enough. Everything seemed to go as planned, but when I tried to rotate it even before reassembling the drum and shield, it would not turn properly.
I hope I'm just making some simple newbie mistake at this point.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Furler won’t turn
I have a Furlex 300 that decided to stop turning (see video). Does anyone have a probable cause and solution?
