Marek My Harken furler is not the same Unit 00 but replacing the line is easy. With the sail furled disconnect the tack of the sail from the drum, pull the furling line completely off the drum and undo the stop knot (I use a figure 8) measure the length, get a new line a few feet longer, same diameter (I use 5/16 braid black tracer), fix the new line to the axle again figure 8 stopper knot, roll the new line onto the drum by rotating the drum by hand in the correct direction to meet the blocks that lead the line aft, unfurl the sail, then furl the sail at the mooring or going to weather, adjust the furling line length at the aft end to suit your preference...done...I don't use a stopper knot at the aft end, that is why I like the line to be a little longer
