Re: Furler Bearing

Hyde Stream-Stay furling: I just replaced the pair of bearings in the the lower swivel section (at the drum) with generic part #6002-2RS. This is an inexpensive sealed ball bearing, available in several quality levels. I got mine at Carquest (in Canada) for around $5 for the pair. The Carquest # is 0474375 I think. I have an exploded diagram of the system, but it doesn't include part numbers nor does it differentiate between ball bearings vs roller/needle. Wish I could scan it for you, but we are on the boat and heading out at the first chance of good winds. Hope this helps a bit. Peter

Peter,,, Thank you for responding back! When I took out the bearings at the top, there was only two sets of roller/needle bearings that had a thin metal plate on either side of them. The diagram on rigrite.com, shows roller bearrings. Do you have a part number for the plastic bushings for the top and bottom? Thank you again for your help and I hope that you enjoyed your sail!
