Accurately measure the pin to pin length of the Masthead Toggle and the Stemhead Toggle. This is the distance from the centre of the clevis pin in the masthead, to the centre of the clevis pin in the stemhead. Accurately measure the Overall Length of the headstay. Determine the correct headstay length in the following manner (see Figure 2): 8.
If not, make sure the feed section bearing tube is in place. Slip a splice piece into the feed section. Use a marine sealant between the drum and the feed section to keep water from running down the luff slots. There is a notch in the feed section for the roll pin. Slip the feed section into the drum and secure in place with the 1/8 roll pin. These are for the sail head and tack, and will rotate with the luff. Attach the snapshackles as shown in Figure 1. The halyard swivel and drive drum are pre-assembled. Referring to the CUSTOMER ASSEMBLY drawing (Figure 1), lay all parts out as shown. 2ĥ TOOLS REQUIRED: 5/32 Allen wrench Needlenose pliers Adjustable wrench Hacksaw File Measuring tape Loc-Tite Fluid INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Since the terminal has to be cut off the headstay to permit installation of the Sea Furl, the existing headstay would be too short to use. Existing boat: Unfortunately a new headstay must be made. New boat with a turnbuckle in the headstay: If it is not possible to order another headstay with the boat, measure the supplied headstay with the turnbuckle 2/3 extended and make a new headstay to this length (with the upper terminal installed after assembly). New boat without turnbuckle in headstay: Order the boat without the upper terminal installed, and use the headstay as delivered.
Note the lay of the headstay wire, and be sure to install the furling line so that it tightens the lay of the wire when Furling. HEADSTAYS The extrusion that fits over the headstay and the clamp that fits over the bottom terminal are really the only differences between the Sea Furl Model 2636 and a normal headstay. Link plates may be used at the stemhead for length adjustment, if desired.
A toggle must be installed at both masthead and stemhead as with any headstay to reduce fatiguing loads.
An eye terminal may be used as a second choice. A Norseman or Staylock terminal is recommended at the top, since it can be disassembled to allow replacement of parts if necessary. The Sea Furl Model 2636 is designed to use a 3/16 or 1/4 diameter 1 x 19 wire ropw headstay with a swaged marine eye at the lower end. The system should be checked for installation and/or maintenance problems. If undue force is necessary, something is wrong.
