One other thing. I'm not sure how long you've had your boat, besides the normal things you look at for maintance check the shroud anchors. This is the eye that comes up through the hull. The shroud is attached to it. Unscrew it all the way and look closely at it. I had to replace these things yearly. It would tear in half. I had one break and found a few over the years several that had cracks.

The other thing to look at is the furler. Look at the stainless where the bridles are attached. Where the metal is formed into a circle around the drum, look for cracks at the bottom.
