Selden Jib Furler

Même problème sur mon 505, il faut remplacer la boite a rea qui passe à travers le pont par un plus gros diamètre (boite a rea selden 57mm) Il faut agrandir le trou dans le pont, assez facile a la scie sauteuse et finir avec une bonne lime.

Il faut aussi bien aligner le tambour de l’enrouleur avec la sortie de drosse.

Depuis l’enroulement se fait à la main très facilement . 

Bon courage 

Upshot was that moisture had found its way into the mechanism over many years via the top seals and gummed-up the bearings. Eventually replaced with the same model, which works perfectly.

I tried to open up the old mechanism, but the seals were rusted onto the inside of the drum, which prevented me being able to access the circlips that hold the drum to the nose. I eventually cut it open with an angle grinder. The bearings were rusted and broken, the circlips rusted into their slots on the drum and the interior was a solid mass of rust, salt and dust.

I was concerned about needing to winch a mechanism that should turn easily. Even in benign conditions it wouldn't turn without some effort. I was most concerned about causing damage to the forestay or the prospect of a jammed drum in high winds, and needing to drop the jib manually.

Conclusion for my case was, I should have replaced it the year before. Going forward, I am making sure to spray silicone spray onto the seals top and bottom regularly, and rinsing the outside with fresh water. The interior should be sealed, so this is all on the outside of the drum. First sign of trouble, the drum needs to come off the bow, the seals removed, the interior flushed and new seals fitted. Only problem is that I've not yet found the right seals because Facnor don't sell them, as they consider the drum mechanism to be a non-serviceable part because it's sealed. Hopefully I've a few years before this happens again.
