How to Fix a Seized Profurl Roller Furler -How we did it (DIY - Sailing Brick House #83)

Rebecca Childress and Michael Hayward on Sailboat Brick House, sail in to Le Marin, Martinique and the DIY sailboat repairs begin. First its the Profurl Roller Furling drum, which is completly seized up, unable to furl and unfurl, and then our handheld VHF radio is drowned in a bucket of water! The prices to repair a sailboat are huge in Martinique and the waiting list long, so we have a roller furling drum brought in and we repair it ourselves. We also get recommended a Retevis VHF radio by some friends and have one of these flown in too, which we unfortunately immediately drop in to the salt water..but its still working! A sailboat always has parts to replaced or maintained and Sailboat Brick House is no different., as she proceeeds on her slow circumnavigation. There are a few repairs we will do while in the port of Le Marin, Martinique. Our wind generator, and autopilot will also get some repairs and maintenance done here! Here is the Retevis RT55 VHF radio we chose: https://amzn.to/3w4kZrf Profurl Roller Furling systems : https://www.profurl.com/images/info_pages/2022-profurl-catalogue-eng-308.pdf ▬ FOLLOW ALONG! ▬▬ ✩Instagram: http://www.Instagram.com/svBrickHouse ✩ Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/SYBrickhouse ✩ Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/SVBrickhouse ✩Our blog: :http://www.WhereIsBrickHouse.com ✩Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/PatrickChildress ✩Tshirts and other: https://www.WhereIsBrickHouse.com/store Support us to keep the videos coming: 🍯(Tip Jar) http://whereisbrickhouse.com/tip-jar/ ⏩ PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/SVBrickHouse ⏩ Sign up for a FREE membership here: https://www.predictwind.com/?ref=rebeccachildress ⛵️ TWO FREE SAILING COURSES: http://whereisbrickhouse.com/sailing-school ⏩Start your Amazon shopping here: https://amzn.to/2K9MmuA ⏩Tshirts and other: https://www.WhereIsBrickHouse.com/store #sailingAfrica #PatrickChildressSailing #TravelsAnimals #sailing #sailboats Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC7DRvfDAoFn5eMyfTnaA8w/join Music Credits Islandesque by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100315 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ Santo Rico by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Artist: http://www.twinmusicom.org/
