[Rhodes22-list] Chet answer about IMF (in mast furling)

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

Ed,
Hauling a boat all the way to Edenton to repair an IMF mechanism is a waste  
of time and resources. This is something that can easily repaired by the owner 
 at his location.

It takes two hands not two people.  

Does  boat have a trailer?

Do you have a tow vehicle?

If boat has  trailer and you have a tow vehicle, buy boat if that is only
issue.   Then take boat to Edenton, North Carolina. (specifically to  General
Boats).  Since you are about 600 miles from Edenton, that  would be 1200
miles round trip.  In today's world that is about $300+  in gas.  So make
appointment with Stan to stay at exclusive Spitzer  Hilton.  Go in your work
clothes with tools.  

Let Stan  take the workings out and see if parts need to be replaced, after
all how  old is it?  If it needs a couple of parts, you get them installed
and  the checked out in the most knowledgeable and reputable way possible. 
Buy  new lines that make it work, and will serve you for years.

Yes this  will costs a few shekels, but then this summer you know it will
work.   Also, since you will be supplying labor to Stan, he will make YOU
work it  correctly, kapish?

“Twenty years from  now you will be more disappointed by the things that you
didn't do than by  the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away
from the safe  harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore.  Dream.
Discover.”  Mark Twain
