Harken Furler - Furler problem was resolved in Mazatlan, screws - 2012!

January 2012 - Tied up in the El Cid Marina Mazatlán, Mexico
 So the furler problem we had while making the Cobo to Mazatlán passage turned out to be set screws. All three set screws came out of the Harken furler at the same time? Yep and so we went to Home Depot in Mazatlan (mid November) and got some metric fine thread screws and used them. 

  We have ordered some new set screws from Downwind Marine to be shipped to PV. The good thing is now we know how to rewind the line coil if the line comes out or gets jammed inside the coil. You simply remove the three screws and the coil spins freely so you can re-wind the line or add new line etc. 
Got some diffent lengths just in case ).
