A little while ago, someone posted about a problem with their furler line jamming in the gap between the drum and the cover and I promised to take a pic of my solution next time I was on the boat. Unfortunately I didn't get to the boat as soon as I had hoped but now eventually here's the pic...
The shackle is free to rotate so the line can find it's own place on the drum but not long enough to allow the line to ride up (or down) into the gap between the drum and the cover.
Even though the run from the block on the stanchion to the drum is pretty well perfect, it still somehow jammed occassionally.
Anyway, simple solution which has worked for me for 10+ years now...
