Product catalog summary
Components:
The kit includes a swivel, a flat drum, a 6mm allen key for the drum screw, an 8mm allen key for the tack, and Loctite glue.
Installation of the Drum:
Attach the snapshackle to a strong point at the yacht's bow. The reefing line should face aft. Adjust the snapshackle position by loosening the 6mm screw inside the drum.
Fitting of the Shackle:
Remove the tack screw with the 8mm allen key to access the snapshackle screw. Secure the snapshackle with the 6mm allen key and use Loctite glue for final positioning.
Installation of the Swivel:
Remove rubber circlips to detach shackles. Insert the sail/halyard head into the shackle, replace the pin, and reattach the circlips.
Furling Line:
Optional spliced furling line kits are available. Use an 8mm line for SDG 1000 PC and a 10mm line for SDG 2000 PC. Insert the line into a hole and turn the drum to grip it. Ensure the line is positioned gently and the sail furls anti-clockwise.
Sail Attachments:
Remove the 8mm screw with the allen key, fit the tack into the slot, and replace the screw.
Use:
Ensure the halyard is tight to furl or unfurl. Adjust the halyard tension while sailing to set the sail.
Furling Tips:
This furler is not a forestay replacement. Ensure load limits are not exceeded. Use an endless line, grease the tack screw, do not use as a reefing system, install on a bowsprit, and clean regularly with tap water.
