Not for my boat. Touche' has a Harken Mk III. Love it.
Nope, this is on a CS33. My buddy and I install Harken furlers. I'm the mast
monkey.
If the old furlers are not in too bad condition, I usually them for a couple
hundred $$ on eBay.
Unfortunately, I tried to disassemble this Seafurl once we got it on the
ground. Couldn't separate the extrusion sections. However, I now understand
how a Hood Seafurl is constructed. I did keep the drum and upper swivel
assemblies.
Stevan, if your Ultrafoil is the same as or very similar to a Seafurl 2535, I
have insight into the drum assembly and how the forestay is attached. Took it
apart. It's in my truck.

I'm hoping I can take it apart too. It's an Ultrafurl 500.
