some boatlife caulk around the spartite.

On another note, I finished the refrigeration installation
yesterday.  I didn't document the installation like Dennis did,
but basically the same thing.  Still need to add in some
additional foam under the counter top and will add some additional
foam in place around the box.  Adding foam to the lid will require
a little engineering as the evaporator sits close to the lid.  I
did have to trim the grate for the evaporator.  Cooled the ice box
down to 37 degrees in about an hour yesterday when I fired it up. 
Draws about 6 amps at start up and 5 amps running.  Will have to

see what the duty cycle is as I use it.  Luckily, I bought one of
the battery monitors that Joe Della Barba posted so I will be able
to count amp-hours.

I have 2 inch gray self fusing tape on Touché. Put on several

several years now and is still in good condition. Absolutely leak

The gray blends in with the aluminum mast and collar so it's
barely noticeable. Highly recommended.

Bought it on eBay.

Ok folks,

I need a new mast boot.  I've seen the poured rubber block that
is more or less permanent. Wally has a write up about how he did
it on Stella Blue and I saw it first hand on Jake's boat.  I
like it but I think it is too big of a commitment right now. 
Until then, I'm thinking of using the self-vulcanizing rubber

tape that is 6" wide. Having used similar products like "Rescue
Tape" for other projects, I expect that I'll need a length that
is at least 3 times the circumference of my mast collar (35" * 3
= 105").

Does anybody have any thoughts on the best way to do this job,
or which product is best?

Thanks,

The biggest problem on Corsair is the Main Halyard exit.  The main

have a couple of motorcycle inner tubes that I think I will split and

that over the inner tube after putting some boatlife caulk around the 
spartite.
