I bought and installed a Profurl on my Bristol 34 in 2001. The wrapstop feature was a primary reason for selecting Profurl and I can report that it has worked flawlessly. I was a little concerned about the carbon steel bearings but have had no problems with them.

Thanks Jim. By "other issues" I'm referring to the many instances I've read of foil set screws backing out of their own volition. I've experienced this first hand on a buddies boat. I think it's a matter of proper use of thread locker on the set screws and fasteners. Lots and lots of folks seems happy with their Profurl units. -Tom
