Just installed mast today on my Beneteau 37 2011. It has a US Spar in-mast furling system. As I looked closer at the line feeding on the furling mechanism I noticed that the drum(plastic) was actually cracked from the base to head. I have had no real issue with this unit to date as far as furling. Has anybody else run into this situation; must check with US Spar if this is a warranty issue. I know we had a cold winter here in Ontario but I wouldn't think this would cause plastic : cracking. One of my engineer's figures that plastic drum on outside of alloy shaft>>expansion>>cracks brittle plastic???
Any feedback welcomed.
