Mainsail furling SELDEN MAST RA
« on: October 19 2019, 00:18 »
Hi sirs.

I think it´s time to put some lube or grease into the furling system... I've seen that Selden recommends their own lube (of course) but I am unable to find it... Any advice for a correct grease / lube product for the furling mainsail?

Thanks!

Just use winch grease if you can't find the Selden stuff.

Furlex grease is widely available, e.g. at SVB. I believe it's a calcium sulfonate grease. The nozzle of the tube makes it easy to apply, as the Selden gear (both Furlex and Furlin) has matching grease slots for it.
