Re: Do I Need A New Turnbuckle

The boat is at my brother-in-law's, so I can't measure the chainplate now, and the furler was a christmas gift that I just now got around to trying to install. So I can't just return/exchange it. ...

Re: Do I Need A New Turnbuckle

I'm not familiar with the term "puka." The problem is that the diameter of the pin in the new furler won't fit in the turnbuckle, and the pin the the turnbuckle isn't long enough to go all the way...

Do I Need A New Turnbuckle

My old furler is in bad shape, so I got a new one, but the pin at the base of the new one has a bigger diameter than the old one. Do I need to get a whole new turnbuckle to attache to the new...

Wave Height
