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 after the fact, and when using your tape and putty for molding, bring it a little below the collar with a drip edge, and you won’t need a mast boot. I have another mast collar that was super tight, the crane operator told me they were up to 6,000# load on the crane, I had to do something. So I jacked it up with a hydraulic jack. When It was out, I sanded the SparTite down some to make it easier, it may have had a bell shape.

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 for me for a c&C 35 mk1 (racing trim). It would be much appreciated. Much appreciated.

Something like mast, lube paper, Spartite, boat??

Wolford via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, February 7, 2019 9:10 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Matthew L. Wolford <wolf...@erie.net> Subject: 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 problem for me has been getting the stick re-aligned so the plug fits correctly when putting the mast back on. This may take some fine adjustments, which takes time, and your help may lose patience – especially if you’re splitting the crane time. In my view, this is the biggest downside of Spartite.
