[quote=MN3]I disagree with the direction of the knot.. i feel it should be facing the back of the boat as to not interfere with anything... but perhaps try both ways.... these systems are very simple... but are "buggie"
Also spraying Sailkote in your mast track is not very effective... the spray goes to the back of the mast track... no sail/nor boltrope ever touches that area. At $18 bottle... thats an expensive way to go.
I would suggest 2 things:
1 take a pencil (or dowel) and wrap it in an old t-shirt type cloth. dip it in silicone lubricant and slide it up and down the track several times (while the mast is down). you will have to slide it past hounds, trailer mast cradles, etc...
This is a great way to clean / lubricate your mast track. Keep the cloth wet and then you are good.
2: spray the sail bolt rope (either / or ) while rolled up or as you raise the sail. You can use cheap silicone again or sailkote[/quote]
