Does anyone have experience servicing the top swivel?
Website says the bearings run in a sealed grease bath, and never need servicing. Mine (Tophat25) is quite stiff to turn, giving a tendency to wrap the halyard when unfurling, esp when needing to lower genoa.
Thoughts???
Thanks cammd. A good video and finally some utube kids not afraid to get their hands dirty to get stuff done.
As I suspected, one destroys the custom seals getting them out. And I was hoping to lube the bearing in-situ as I don't want to pull the furler down anyway.
Guess I will just put up with a stiff swivel. Still furls well, just a bit difficult getting started lowering the halyard.
