The halyard on my CDI furler was replaced last year by a local rigger. I noticed today that where the halyard exits the front, it is chafing. Could that be because he didn't put a metal ferrule on the line like the original one had?

The other question is I don't know which model the boat has. The manual that came with it shows it to be either a 4 or a 6. When I called CDI they said it is a 2. The boat is a 1999.

Any help would be appreciated.

The FF2 usually comes with the WB version. My WK (#348) came with a FF4. I bought a genuine CDI replacement halyard (with ferrule) from a dealer. Not sure if ferrule affects chafe, or maybe they use a more chafe resistant braid (de-cored, maybe?).

I'd be more suspicious of the point where the line exits the drum. You might need to rotate the drum a bit.

Just make sure you think this out before making any turns,disconnects whatever. My FF2, the halyard exits on the port side of the drum. The opening on the chrome covers opening is centered directly at the back of the drum, halyard line is not close to chafing in that position. See if CDI has an owners manual on-line.

We need the OP to clarify whether he is referring the halyard or the furling line. So far as I know, the halyard with the ferrule never exits the drum. It does rub along the slot whenever your raise the jib, and I assumed that's what he was referring to.

[url="http://www.sailcdi.com/sailpdf/FF4&6%20manual%206_12.pdf"]Here are CDI's instructions[/url] for the FF4/FF6. You'll see multiple references to the halyard being the line that runs along the extrusion.

On page 6 it mentions the ferrule on the halyard. On page 3 it mentions that the tail of the halyard for the FF4 is decored (FF6 is not decored). The decoring allows it to pass through the slot without chafe.

Just replaced mine. Look at the front of the roller on the CDI sign and you should see some kind of fraction. My 97 WK said 4/6. Thisbis what CDI needed to mail me the correct part. Call CDI in NJ (just google them) and have them talk it through with you.

Good luck
