Agreed as to sealing the slot, but the nice thing is on ours that the
spar manufacturer thoughtfully filled the slot below the boom vang
attachment, so it makes for a nice smooth penetration through the deck.
Still wondering about better tape options, though...

Also don’t forget that if you are keel stepped AND have a mast slot
for slugs on your mainsail luff. Darn near impossible to seal that
channel with just the boot tape.

Under “other solutions,” I use a Spartite plug at the partners which,
in addition to holding the mast in place, also keeps water out.

*Subject:* Stus-List Mast Boot Tape
Hello all,
I was wondering if some of you may have some insights regarding mast
boot tape. We have had a slight leak around the base of the mast
since we bought the boat in February. I pulled off a mass of old tape
which was peeling anyway, and applied Rubbaweld Mast Boot Tape with
somewhat marginal success (it was my first attempt). In that since I
was doing the job single handed, I had to start by taping the end of
the tape to the mast with duct tape to hold it while I pulled it
tight. I also found it was kind of a pain to have to pull off liner
from the tape surface simultaneously while pulling on the tape hard
enough to activate the adhesive and get it to bind. It was also
pretty difficult to get a good span from the base of the mast deck
entrance to the mast itself, and I had difficulty getting the tape to
fuse into a nice tight end. In the end, the stuff appears to be about
the same as what came off, which looked perpetually dirty.
I understand this is mostly an issue of user error, but It seems to me
there must be a better solution.
For example, anyone ever try white shrinkwrap tape? It would seem
ideal - waterproof, sticks to boat hulls well, doesn't leave sticky
residue, is UV resistant, and would stay much cleaner.
Any other solutions?
