Just put a new halyard on my CDI furler. Sewed the end of the new halyard to the end of the old one and pulled the new one thru. Worked like a charm. Thanks Val.

Gary,

Glad to be of service. My furler halyard originally used two metal clips( looked like heavy duty paper clips) one on either halyard half. They worked for awhile but I think they precipitated the demise of the sheave, no fun.

I too am ready to install a new halyard on my CDI furler. Can i eliminate those metal clips? My furler is off the boat now so i do not have to splice the old halyard with the new.


Thanks

The halyards have to be spliced every time you raise or lower the sail on the cdi furler when the mast is up. If you intend to put the sail on with the mast down you needn't splice the halyard. My experience with the metal clips is that they wear heavily on the sheaves. When I recently replaced the sheaves I did away with the clips. When sewing the two ends together butt them and sew with an overcast stitch. Try pulling the ends apart before running the sail up, you don't want them to part half way up.
