Re: Triton outboard well

Thanks for your quick reply, Marvin and James! I think Furler will be a critical and pricey component on my boat. I will do some more research.

Re: Triton outboard well

Hi James, when you have a chance, could you tell me how to close the shaft hole? I plan to haul out my boat soon. Since I now go with the outboard well design, I don't need the shaft anymore. Could you give me a pointer on how to close the shaft hole?

Thanks,
Wenqiang

Re: Broken piece in mast step

Hi James, Thanks for your quick response. That sounds a good plan. Please let me confirm my understanding: Have a larger piece of fiberglass pad under tha mask to support its weight; on top of the larger piece, put a smaller piece of fiberglass pad which goes inside of the mast tube; then bolt and g...

There is a long list items need fix, and on top is a broken piece near mast step. It is not the step itself and not the mast either. It is a piece of aluminum in the middle. ...
