The Rotostay roller reefing on my Sadler 25 works perfectly but sometime in the past the springy metal retaining plates around the drum have been bent outwards as you can see on the piccie. This is worse on the right hand plate. Now, unless one is very careful when dropping the mooring buoy over the front (similarly when anchoring), the plate gets caught and is pulled further out. Does anyone have a simple solution, other than replacing the whole thing that would get bend it back in again without fracturing it? I have tried a cable tie pulled in tight around the drum whilst I was away from the boat but it had no discernible effect.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
