| Post subject: | Old Style Mast Head Replacement |
Recently purchased a used 1986 H16. Looks like the mast head may have some cracks in it and could use replacing. I saw a reference on another post that the comp tip mast head will fit on my aluminum (non comp tip) mast. Is this correct? Is there still a seal that is needed like the old style mast head? Do I need to purchase anything other than the part 20614001 and some rivets? Thanks in advance! |

If the top of your mast is not currently sealed then I'd take the opportunity to seal it. Heck, I might re-seal it just to be safe. Other than that, I think you should be okay with your old stuff but I haven't made this switch so I can't say for sure.

So, aside from the seal, should the comp tip mast head fit on my all aluminum mast? |

Yes it fits fine, make sure you seal the new mast head on good. Thanks, Brad Stephens www.sunjammers.com Hobie Division 15 Chairman Authorized Hobie/Vanguard/Hunter Dealer [email protected] 850-235-2281 Panama City Beach, FL |

CompTip mast head also requires the CompTip halyard. |

In order to do this repair myself, I will need to aquire a rivet gun. Anyone have some recomendations (best bang for the buck)? Also I saw a post on another topic mention using casings with the rivets? Can someone please help me with this?... Thanks! |
