Harken 948 MKIII Jib Reefing & Furling - Manual (Page 43)

Assembly
March 2003 Unit 2.5 MKIII 22
Place a drop (about the size of a marble) of polysulfide marine sealant (such as
BoatLIFE's Life Calk) onto the end of the wire. Do not use silicone marine
sealant.
Apply three drops of red Loctite to the threads and reassemble the
terminal.
After the terminal is assembled, attach the bottom foil to the long bottom connec-
tor using red Loctite, a plastic half wedge and screw as described on page 19.
There will be a 2 3 /
8
" (60 mm) gap in the foil to mount the feeder .
Attach the feeder as described on page 20.
Norseman and Sta-Lok terminals may be opened for inspection. Always
reassemble with fresh polysulfide marine sealant, red Loctite and a new
“wedge”. Do not reuse the “wedge” after you've sailed with your unit.
■ Rod Adapter Stud Assembly
Make sure halyard swivel and torque tube have been
slipped on the foils. Then apply a few drops of red
Loctite to the threads of the nosepiece.
Screw the terminal onto the nosepiece until the flats
align with the two cotter pin holes in the terminal body .
Tip: The flats will align with the holes when the
threads of the nosepiece are flush with the top of the
terminal body. Slowly turn the nosepiece while eas-
ing a cotter pin into one hole. The cotter pin will slip
through the termnial when the holes align with the
flats.
Insert the two cotter pins and spread.
Clean excess Loctite from the terminal body using
special care to insure that no Loctite is present on the
lower threaded stud.
