ProFurl Long Link Plates

I'm looking for a set of long link plates for a ProFurl B35 drum. They come stock with furler so if anybody has some they didn't used or know a rigger or boatyard that might have some laying in the junk drawer I'm interested if the price is right!!

Easy to make, I made mine, but be careful there is a limit to the length for each model.

Re: ProFurl Long Link Plates

I think I may have a set. I just replaced the furler on my Tayana 42 and the new setup had it's own set.

I'll have to sort through a box of parts to see what the old fuler was but I am almost positive it was a pro-furl,

I'll take a picture of them once I confirm the furler model.

CJ, thanks for looking!! A pic or two would be great.

Sy_Gilana I thought about making some just a little tricky getting them symmetrical at the bends which might result in an off axis wobble ie harder to furl, but always a last resort.

I have a set from an R250 furler if you can figure out of they are the same part number you are looking for...

Re: ProFurl Long Link Plates

I made mine when I converted my Hood SL 915 to Pro-Furl type.

jbugbee,
The parts numbers don't match up and the only dimensions I could find are thickness (5/32) and length which seem to correspond. So the only question is width. If you have a chance to measure that I think I could figure out if they'll fit or could grind down part that goes into the slot on the drum.
Thank for the help, Dave

Thanks jbugbee , those definitely look right. I'm trying to find width of links on unit I'm getting (don't have yet) . What are you thinking price wise on those beauties?
