You have the little two inch or so rod with the ear?
I have one and can do it, it’s not hard, but I wont try to tell you as I have only actually assisted in it, and I’m sure I would leave out essential info.
I’d say call the Mack Sail Guys, they are very knowledgeable about it.

Why not talk to Profurl???? They DO write manuals for these things.

Do you have a specific question? or do you want somebody to walk you through all the steps of the process?

Is it possible for you to be less aggressive with your posts, you seem an angry man, wording your posts a little more politely would be of benefit to the forum. You are obviously knowledgeable but unfortunately that comes across second often.

I agree with Dale. If we can't say anything constructive and with consideration then don't say it.

Re: Profurl in boom roller mainsail

Sounds like someone got up on the wrong side of the settee.....or if you check previous postings, it may be a personality issue.

Leisure furl has a fantastic site with many downloadable pdf’s and a ton of instructions that are very detailed.

I use them all the time. At the end of the inside of your boom is the serial number. Write it down and call text email them.

I don’t think the Profurl manual is available on line, if someone has a link, I’d appreciate it.
