Hi All, I have the Harken traveler discussed in this thread:
http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/54813-improving-mainsheet-traveler-ergonomics.html
Tonight, I pulled the main sheet and a bunch of the little ball bearings fell out the bottom of the main car. I was told I could get new ones at West Marine, but, why would they have fallen out? I don't want to dismount the traveler and put new ones in if its just going to keep happening.
I don't care for this traveler anyhow, maybe its time for a new one, but in the meantime, what should I look for as the problem?
Thanks...
