You just need a regular wire forestay with appropriate fittings each end to match the length of the entire furler assembly. Or if your furler is the kind that encloses a wire forestay - CDI for example - then you may only need to remove the furler setup and just use the wire stay that already runs through it. cheers, John On 10/7/19 9:51 AM, Charles Adams via montgomery_boats wrote:
I have a roller furling on a M 17 I just bought. I want to change back a forestay. Why? Much easier to step mast and I want to only trailer the boat. I want the option to go either way depending on where I sail. Surprise to me not easy finding any marina that can do one. Have talked to West Marine and they will, but.
