Water in the mast receiver

Hi everyone,

New TI owner (and I love it), I would like to know if there is a way to remove the water that fills the mast receiver without removing akas, amas, and turning the main hull ?

Thank you.

As luck would have it, my manual bilge pump fits in the receiver keeping the ball-bearings in place when traveling and allows me to remove most of the little water that gets in.

I stuff a microfiber cloth in, takes a few cycles depending on the amount of water.

Turkey Baster, dirty towel, long screwdriver. The sequence will come to you.

Thank you folks.... microfiber will be cheaper than a bilge pump !!!

1. Bilge pump to get most out
2. Sponge taped to stick to get the rest
3. Foam noodle with waterproof tape at the top to keep new water from getting in while stored

Hope that helps

I use a wet/dry shop vac to remove the water and any other debris in the mast receiver.
