[Rhodes22-list] Head stay

[ROGER PIHLAJA]

Hi Scott,

My OEM roller furler had plastic bushings for bearings (Torlon I think).  So, no ball bearings.  My current Harken Unit 0 roller furler has 3 sets of ball bearings in the lower unit.  But, all of them have more than 7 balls.  So, I have no idea what you’ve got.
