Our cushions have held up extremely well and they are nearing 5 years old for the current set. We walk on them, sit on them, and generally abuse them. They get the typical dirtyness and salt water periodically. We simply hose them down and maybe even scrub them if necessary. We have the strip to mat...

I'm a bit late here but we have had very good experience with Bottom Siders. We find them very comfortable and clean extremely easy.

LOL! Glad to hear it was not just us!

I will indeed use the bridle! If I go that far, then I can step the mast alone. Won't have to scare my neighbors again!

Lesson Learned!!!!

Thanks for all the info guys, I certainly appreciate it. And yes, I did the attempt without the bridles. I'm certain the bridles would have eliminated the problem. I also have now looked closely at the mast step on the 75 with the hinge. That appears to be non standard. I already have emails out to ...

Dang. Well, tonight was a bust. Got the blue hull ready for the mast and had a couple of neighbors over for the lifting of the mast! The mast hanging over the stern of the boat also went over my shed on the side of the house. I gave each neighbor a halyard and instructions. I then got on the roof of...

I hope to step the mast on my 1976 C22 for the first time tonight! I spent an hour yesterday putting in all the clevis pins, checking the shrouds, and checking the stays. This mast is not hinged like the 75 is. It is however slid back and in place ready to go up as soon as my neighbors come home and...

Hey Bob,

did you get the mounting bracket also or do you have an alternative method of mounting?

Is that it on your stern rail in the photo?


Thanks for the input. I do appreciate it.

Neither of Harbor Freights indicate they are water or weather proof. I also have had bad experiences with some of their tools.

Solar trickle chargers? Anyone?

I'm curious as to if anyone here uses a solar trickle charger to keep the boat battery charged when not in use? If you use or have used one, what was your experience and what charger, amperage, or watts was provided to the battery and what was the outcome? West Marine has 3 offered up and I'm consid...

Hi Allan,
I have sent you some photos of the mast support. It is dark out so they are a bit poor but I think you'll see how it is mounted clearly.

The photos are VERY large for you to see detail.
Let me know if you need anything else!
