I have been considering replacing my hard wood shims with the Spartite
plug, since I pull my mast every year for transport the boat to my
house. It is a pain to waterproof the mast/partner ring due to the hard
vang being mounted 1/4 inch above the ring; so using continuous wide
shrink tape around the mast partner mast is not possible.
The boat is a1974 C&C 35-2 that has six turning blocks for
halyards/topping lift mounted on the partner ring or to cabin top
adjacent to the mast. Thus, it has two straps (P&S) mounted/hooked on
the ring, going down the mast, to be thru bolted to the mast, to keep
the cabin top from being lifted. Has anyone successfully used and
sealed a Spartite plug to this arrangement?

Is Spartite the best way to shim a mast in the deck ring? Are there
other ways to shim a mast for a DIYer?
