[quote=goodsailing][quote]The spinnaker pole mount for a Hobie 18 is a gooseneck fitting. [/quote]
It must rotate 90 degrees. From the pic I saw of that fitting, won't allow the movement needed. Actually the suggesting of drilling a hole in the mast base through the plug is a good idea. It could also serve as drain hole if your mast leaked.
For those who don't want to drill a hole in their mast....
OK now on to fabricating a part that involves a hose clamp, and 1" piece of metal tubing and since this is sailing hardware.... $125 Guy's just love gadgets... :lol:
Added: rubber plug to fill hole in mast you drilled. $14.99 :evil:<!-- editby --><em>Edited by goodsailing on Apr 08, 2015 - 08:11 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
