Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: Mast Wedge Help

An important point Matthew makes. A quick rig tune before installing Spartite is important. With no constraints in the collar, center the masthead and make sure the mast is in column. Touche's mast was noticeably off to one side of the collar opening when I installed Spartite. The mast step and

Stus-List Spartite and mast rake - random thoughts

Starting a new thread here excluding the wedge topic. Some random thoughts on the subject. First, conventional wisdom on mast rake for the older C&C's is 1 degree aft. To get close, multiply your boat's P dimension in feet by 0.21. (That's the sine of 1 degree x 12 inches) That yields the numbe

Re: Stus-List Mast Wedge Help

I don't know if Jake Broderson is still on the list or will answer up but he was a huge fan of Spartite. While showing me his installation I asked about removing the mast and he said that Spartite manufacturer suggests that the mast can be "slipped" out. He stated that he did not have that much l

Re: Stus-List Prepping for 35-1 Keel Bolts/Smile Fix

In my video, I provide notes and links in the comments section; Stud and nut conversions along with the torque specs. It looks like a lubed value of 299ft-lbs or dry of 254ft-lbs is the highest likely torque you'll need... Unfortunately the largest reasonable torque wrench you'll probably find is

Re: Stus-List Mast Wedge Help

On Grenadine I use the NGA-18 tapered rubber wedges from Rig-Rite - http://www.rigrite.com/Spars/SparParts/Mast_wedges.php . I’ve got a dozen of them, and insert them all around the mast. Grenadine came with hardwood wedges, but their li

Re: Stus-List Mast Wedge Help

Spartite directs that you use petroleum jelly on the partners before pouring the plug. Most people do not want the plug to move on the mast (which Spartite assumes), so the mast is not lubed before pouring. If you want to be able to remove the plug, you could use petroleum jelly on the mast as

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: Mast Wedge Help

I did not do the dead-center method on my 42 after concluding (by measuring) that the partners were slightly off dead-center. Instead, I centered the mast in the mast box (which, admittedly, could also be slightly off dead-center), and straightened the mast side to side by measuring from the to

Re: Stus-List Mast Wedge Help

You definitely don’t want to make a plug until you are fully content with the position of the mast. As others have correctly stated, the plug eliminates the ability to alter the rake as the mast goes through the partners. If this is an issue, do not use Spartite. I have a 62-foot telephone po

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: Mast Wedge Help

What I did back when I poured the SparTite was put a 4=part block and tackle on the mast leading to each rail so I could pull it into the dead center position. Spartite is actually a urethane molding compound you can buy elsewhere for less $$. Joe Coquina ___

Re: Stus-List Mast Wedge Help

All, I used Spartite way back when it first entered the market. I have no issues whatsoever when removing the mast for maintenance. The wood mast wedges went the way of the Dodo bird years ago. Simply read and then follow the instructions exactly. Best regards, Jack Fitzgerald C&C 39TM HONEY -

Re: Stus-List Mast Wedge Help

After trying various things including nothing I have been happy with thick rubber pads. I purchase a couple of feet from a roll and trimmed it. This may be the product, I think there was a choice of thicknesses at the store: https://www.princessauto.com/en/detail/heavy-duty-checker-plate-roll

Re: Stus-List Mast Wedge Help

I don't have Spartite but it looks like a very good solution to prevent point loading and something I always wanted. I believe you want the Spartite plug to stick to the mast and to release from the collar and may require some persuasion from inside to help that along when they crane out the ma

Re: Stus-List Mast Wedge Help

I have six oak wedges and two stainless straps on my 30-1. I've seen some ads for some hard rubber or plastic wedges which look interesting, but have had only one oak one break in 25 years, so... The comment about Spartite or some other system to fix the mast at the partners contradicts the idea th

Re: Stus-List Mast Wedge Help

I would think you’d want the SparTite to adhere to your mast, not the boat. I cleaned my mast super clean where the Urethane was, and put Vaseline around the aluminum collar. It sticks onto the mast like glue. It is a little tight, but always slips out. You can be a little creative, I learned

Re: Stus-List Mast Wedge Help

This is a great discussion thread. I have had the box of spartite in the trunk of my car for two years but have been to hesitant to use it. My main concern is that I have not been satisfied that I have ever had the best mast alignment in the collar. If someone could provide info on this this

Steve: Many of our C&C's have wooden wedges in the deck collarmy 32 has 3 forward, 3 aft, and a slim one on each side.   I wouldn't put 'metal on metal' there.  Other have suggested Spartite. As far as installing triangular aluminum mast steps, I have yet to see one of our C&C's with the

Stus-List re Mast wedge help

My 30 Mk1 has hardwood wedges at the collar. I've thought about replacing them with Spartite, but I take the mast out every fall and the wedges are easy. What I've read about Spartite lately makes me think it's not for me. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AkpvkGQ7RaWRiod2zfN5tVCAORM3Pw Derek Kennedy SV Tortug

Re: Stus-List Mast Wedge Help

Yes. The line I use to pull the stick is substantial, but it stretches a bit. The first time I pulled the mast after installing Spartite, the line stretched before the plug “let go.” The mast jumped about a foot, like a big-ass pogo stick. Very unnerving. As I noted earlier, the bigger prob

Re: Stus-List Mast Wedge Help

Spartite here. There can definitely be issues the first time you pull the mast (it wants to hang on, even if you lubed it correctly). There can also be issues getting the alignment correct putting the mast back in – especially large masts while you’re paying the crane operator for his time. D

Yes. Although I lubed the inside of the collar prior to pouring in the Spartite, I was so focused on getting the mast in the right position [used multiple lines led to snatch blocks and to winches to position the mast] I did not notice a small flange on the inside of the collar. When the yard tri
