| Post subject: | Trailer Mast Clamps |
Hello, I recently purchased a Hobie 18 and both mast clamps are broken on the trailer. Any tips or suggestions on where I can find these? So far my best idea is to mount a bow stop to cradle the mast and run a strap over the mast to hold it down but ideally I'd like to find something made for this. Maybe I'm not searching the right term on the hobie part/accessory search? Thanks for any help! |

I assume you are talking about the forward and rear mast supports. Try Trailex trailers, they sell forward and rear mast supports as parts for their cat trailers |

Guessing you are referring to the large clamp that surrounds the mast and has a screw handle for tightening. Pretty sure those have been out of production for a decade or more. They did look secure and sturdy, but many were broken while bouncing down the highway. I remember people being unable to get parts for broken ones many years ago. Haven't seen one in so long that I had forgotten about them. People do talk about using bow stops, but most mast supports have a much taller V-shape. Try searching for mast support, stand, and/or crutch. Doesn't seem like it would be difficult to fabricate something...just make sure it's well-padded, rubber-coated, or such. |
