Wondering if anyone with Hobie Wave uses a lube on the mast ball or on the mast bottom that sits on the ball. The ball on my mast base comes loose and I tighten before trailering and then before stepping the mast and then once again trailering back home. If I buy a new ball, will this solve my issue? And your thoughts on Locktite to secure the ball onto the threaded nut on the base. Love the Wave and enjoy the education this forum provides. Anyone with a Hobie Cat out on Lake Wylie near Charlotte, NC?

You could use lube on the ball where it contacts the mast. Blue LocTite would sure the loose issue.
