I have two masts, one comptip, one standard single sheave. Both have a small amount of water in them that will not drain, and I'm guessing that I need to pop both heads off and reseal/replace the plug and the seat on top of the plug, seal with 3M 5200.
Apparently rain water is getting into these masts, I'm guessing that I will punch my ticket to turtle town in the event of a capsize.
So, a few questions:
Differences in anatomy of single sheave and comptip at the mast head?
Any surprises during the removal process, or is it as simple as drilling out 2 rivets and prying?
Do I need to order a new plug and seat, or can I reseal the old one?
Is the hobie pylon/mast plug part number 1060000 the correct plug?
If anyone has a "oh, man...whatever you do, don't do ____________" bits of advice! please share
I always appreciate the help in this forum, I have rescued 3 14's and counting...
