Claude, I'm going to assume that the boat is in the water. Pull the 175 all the way out. Note the routing of the line. Untie the knot at the bottom of the sail and remove the line counting the remaining turns. A good digital picture or another person to help you remember how it was previously attached is always helpful. Replace the line in reverse of how you took it off. Voila! Make sure to keep the 175 cleated down when all the way out. A nice calm day is preferred for this procedure. Now, this all being said, I'm assuming you have the GBI furler.

I have checked the archives, but got no help. Thanks. ClaudeSee the original archive post
