I've had a CDI furler for about a season and a half (Lake Erie). It has performed well and I have had no problems with it so far. I put it on myself with the help of a friend (we did take the mast down to do it, but I was told that is not absolutely necessary). It took me
an afternoon to do it. I did spring for the added roller bearing assembly. Installing it was easy, the directions were pretty good, and any questions I had were welcome when I called CDI for any kind of help. The system is basic and seems to work well. The sail rolls in and out easily and the boat still sails good, points pretty good, and I am pleased with it. Keep in mind I have no previous experience with other brands. I do have a friend who purchased a Harken about the same time for a similar size boat and has since sailed with me-- says if he had it to do again he might go with the CDI.
Good Luck!
Mine came with a Furlex system that has been fantastic. I would highly recommend it.
