[Rhodes22-list] Goodeneck

Ric,

First, this is a standard mast (not IMF).  The pin should seat in the
gooseneck slide at the fully raised position of the pop-top to hold the top
from dropping down while sailing.  The plastic has seen too much weather and
needs replacement.  The easiest solution is to order it from General Boats
unless you wish to make your own from components by dwyer or rigrite.

Thanks for these links, very helpful.
I have a new main sail with reef points as I never liked the boom reefing
system.
The gooseneck for the boom is fine. The gooseneck for the pop top is not.
Attached are 2 pics showing the original pop top attachment with a ring
attached to a spring loaded pin.  The pin does not find a hole to rest in -
it must be broken.
The composite material this piece is made of, is decomposing and weak.
Am I correct in thinking that the spring loaded pin is supposed to seat in a
hole in the back of the slot?
