Hi all, the rotation stops on the mast base of my P16 are pretty badly worn, so the mast swings a lot farther than intended. I may replace the base to fix it, but an alternate idea would be to install a rotation control arm. I don't know much about these. Can anyone offer an opinion on which solution to go for? And, if the control arm is preferred, which type? Thx

Easiest fix is to file stops so they are flat and at 90 degrees and then get a piece of SS the same size drill a hole in the center of the piece and screw into the stops

The mast base for a boat with mast rotation and one without are different the one for a mast rotation does not have any stops on it

The Prindle 18, 18-2, and 19 have a wishbone that attaches to the mast and rigs into the boom.. here is a pic of the rigging



I think the Hobie 17 & 18 use the same one.... but you nay have an issue finding one.... unless you already have one.

Personally I would go with a new mast base from Murrays... some silicone along with three rivets and your done... http://www.murrays.com/56-6005.html
