Cdi Roller Furling Manual

Hi Stuart,It has been busy times here at TRC, hence the late reply. To service this furler, if service parts can be acquired (depending on what’s needed), we would take the furler down. Depending on your service options where the boat is located, you can take the mast down with a crane, it is the most thorough option.If we were doing this job we would, de-tune the mast, secure the mast forward, and go aloft to remove the forestay and furler.Once it is on the ground you will be able to disassemble, repair, replace and needed parts as well as go over the whole thing. The added bonus with taking the mast down is that you get to address all of the other components as well.Contact for Hood headsail Furler parts and advice, they should be a big help.Regards,T.R.C. I’ve got an old 915 LD on my Catalina 34 and I’m considering switching it out for an 808 SL. I’d like to know how it attaches at the stemhead and I can’t gleen that from the limited drawings I’ve found online. I need to determine the linkplate length I need for anchor roller clearance and to determine whether any sail changes will be needed.

A good dimensional drawing would be of great help. An installation manual (if one exists) would also help. The C34 has a 5/16 stay, 5/16 turnbuckle with a t-toggle pegged to the stemhead with a 5/8 clevis pin. Any help will be appreciated.Dan920-540-3433. Hi Dan, This furler should suit your needs well.

The installation manual is available from Hood Pompanette in FL. It is more of a maintenance and user manual and not very useful if your looking for installation instructions, but it may be worth a shot as there is some info.It would be worth while to just build a new stay for this furler as well. Two reasons, one then the forestay as a whole has been completely dealt with, two, the turnbuckle required will be a threaded eye turnbuckle. This is likely not the turnbuckle that is equipped currently.In terms of link plates. There are only two sizes available: short link plates, these are standard, and long link plates optional.

The short link plates will provide roughly 8-10 inches of clearance and the long link plates will provide more in the 18-24″ of clearance to the bottom of the drum. Again Hood Pompanette will have the exact answer for you on this. Keep in mind the pin hole height in the stem head is also a factor. The answer here may be less technical than what you’re afterIf you need to provide clearance for an anchor, go with the long links. You can always cut them with a cut them to length as well.

If the anchor roller extends well out in front of the furler you may get away with the short links, and perhaps you just add an extra eye-jaw-toggle to the bottom of the stay (another reason to build a new stay as this will need to be figured into the forestay length).Hope this helps.

Well while I have had the Hood system for 12 years now and I am the third owner, the system has been working very well since 1993. BUT and it is a BIG BUT, how in the hell are u supposed to change the roller furling line. Mine is under deck in the anchor locker of a Hunter Passage 42. There is no reasonable way to get to the knot and change out the furler line.

Also I have had to go up the mast twice in 12 years and have someone push all of the rivet tails back into the extrusion since they had come out at least 1/8 to 3/16 th of an inch. A call about this would be appreciated. Rick Delaune 504-458-1013.
