One of my auto inflate PFDs went off by itself years ago. When I looked at the bobbin it was way past its service life, I was only looking to see if the green showed on the outside tab and was not checking the date on the bobbin. Halkey Roberts website (

Here's a link to a Mustang bobbin that calls for replacement of the bobbin every three years: https://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1%7C135%7C2290066%7C2290076=66 6701. It states that this is to prevent inadvertent inflation. My guess is that you could safely extend the interval since it

It's common to have the lowers attach directly to the spreader bracket, is it possible that the plate is part of the bracket? . Further, a plain bolt through the mast, when tightened, could cause the walls of the mast to bend or collapse. There should be a compression tube inside the mast

Rick, the issue is that, according to the zipper documentation, you should NOT use the car to open the zipper but to 'rip' it open from the yellow area. After inspecting the bobbin you need to open the full length of the zipper so you can now close it. I plan to use the car to open enough to

Can’t imagine that to be the case. The bolt would be several bolts in the first good breeze. it would shear right off. I suspect the po planned to install a different mast fitting but that is only my guess. John Sent from my iPad > On Nov 16, 2017, at 9:24 PM, bobmor99 . via CnC-List

Yes, have the same issue on the 121. Tried a light fine sanding last spring but it had minimal impact. I think we need to treat exactly as cloudy headlights on a car but need to do more research. If it ain’t leaking I’m not inclined to replace. John Sent from my iPad > On Nov 16, 2017,

I can't exactly see how it wouldn't be right. Its relatively easy to find the sheer strength of what ever sized bolt it is but I would expect (since it is supporting 2 shrouds on each side) that the bolt is at least one size larger than the pins used on the deck fittings. My MacGregor 26C used a
