I have a hood furler on my mizzen. I have been happy with it. Its EZ to use and I also works great as a anchor sail. When I get back from my trip on sunday I will send you a photo.
I found some cracking on the upper swages last spring (all lowers looked good) so I replaced the follwing: All side wires, swages, pins, turnbuckels, & jaws. I did not replace the forstay or backstay (the backstay was gone over when the SSB was installed, and the forstay was replaced when the Profurl was added.) One of the backstay swages is rusty and I will replace it before I head north the spring. I gave the triatic a good look over and it’s ok for now. (I did replace the triatic pins two or three years ago).
I replaced all my standing rigging myself. I ordered it from Rigging Only http://www.riggingonly.com/ I had them swage the uppers and I put on Hi-mod fittings on the lowers. It took me about a week to complete the job. Cost for both Mizzin and Main Mast was $1,949.52
Sir Issac Newton’s laws of physics, and one that is very important to moving cabin soles. For every action there is anequal and opposite reaction. I just noticed that the settee seat is starting to drop. Back to the drawing board.
As you can see I removed the settee bed slides. The Pearson 424 was made with the Caribbean Charter trade in mind so she could sleep 8, now Syringa can sleep 6. As me and my wife have been cursing for years in the Northwest waters we find this to be plenty of room for guests as we only like to take one other couple at a time. When my kids and grand kids come along they always seem to fit nicely.
When I had the settee cushions made I had them make the back rest out of 2″ foam this gave me 2 more inches of butt room and also made the mattress roomier. I also had the seats cushions made so it they not run all the way back to the hull, and now use that space to stow may fishing gear and outer small items. The 2″X2″ piece of wood you can see in the photo keeps the cushion from sliding back.
I like the old saying: A good boat has room for six friends for cocktails, four for dinner, and sleeps two.

The fix I came up with was to drill a 3/8″ hole from the settee deck all the way through the sole. (you need a 24″ long drill bit) I drilled as close to the plywood back without cutting into it. (I did drill through the upper and lower 1″X1″ deck & Sole supports) Under your settee cushion you can see where the plywood starts. (My drill has a bubble level but I don’t think you really need it as you can feel the plywood & supports. Then I took 18″ long 1/4″ stainless steel ready rod and put a Barrel Nut on the top end and a large washer and nut under the sole ( I used 3 of these rods on each side of the sole.) I then tightened the nuts evenly until the sole was pulled back into place. (Note: I drilled next to the 2X4 floor beams that are on 18″ centers)

Sorry I was in Mexico the last two weeks and away from all my PC’s
You need to place the bearing into the strut and take a drill bit just under the size of the screw holes and drill into the bearing (both set of holes) about 1/4 of the thickness of the bronze outer shell.
Don’t tighten the set screws too tight as you don’t want to deform the bearing. Use Loc-Tight to hold the allen screws place.
If you have any questions give me a call.
