Changing the Nicro-Fico traveler

Hello, I have a 79 E-25+. Love this boat! Just removed a very wobbly traveler, that fell apart in my hands. Can these be rebuilt? Or should I just upgrade the entire system? Thanks for any info

Call Garhauer order a new one and be amazed how much easier the boat is to sail, and how much more you play the traveler.

I had a 1980 Ericson 25+. I replaced the traveler with a Harken 22mm system. The main problem I had to account for was the car width. Most models were too wide to fit in the recessed area. The harken car fit with a few mm to spare. It was one of best improvement I made to the boat and I waited far to long to do it.

Here's what I put together from the car I found. Going to try this. Ordering a set up from Garhauer. The upgrade is needed, will have to do some repairs under existing track. Just trying to postpone the inevitable. IMG_2883.jpg
