| Post subject: | Two segment mast |
Hello I just got my first Hobie, it is Hobie 16 with two section mast. It seems that there is slack between the two pieces. Is this normal or should I look into fix it? Thanks, |

If wobbly... that is a problem. May be a very old version of the CompTip Mast? Upper is black? Or did it come from Europe maybe? All alumuinum with a sleeve connection? In any case. Epoxy can be used to bond the halves together and stiffen the connection. |

Hello The hull numbers are CCMQ4671M82D. Yes the upper is black. Would you suggest a specific epoxy or just any kind? Thanks, |

The original CompTip was installed with a thru bolt (sister screw). We went very quickly to one, as done in production, that is held in by the shroud tang / hound rivets... and epoxy. In either case the tip can be bonded in with automotive Bondo epoxy. It makes a very stiff connection and is easy to work with / find. Installation instructions: http://static.hobiecat.com/digital_assets/13070100CTIP.pdf These cut lengths are for the current system. Yours may be installed above the tang by 12" approx? |

Hello Do I have to drill out the hound rivets in order to disassebly the mast? I am not that familliar with hound rivets, do I need a special tool to install them? I also found that the aluminium rivets for mast base should be replaced, is there a procedure to replace these rivets (any sealeant that need to be used?) Is there a possibility to attach the pictures to the posts? Thanks, |
