[Rhodes22-list] Anyone know what this part is?

[Alton Miller]

Thanks for your project videos, Peter.  They will be helpful as I bring our boat, Mishka,  back into shape after her 10 years on the trailer in Palm Harbor, FL.  As of July this year, her new home is in Surfside Beach, SC.

I’m with Mary Lou in wondering what’s keeping the tube in place.  You can see some details of what my IMF assembly looks like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH7hYJnoNpM&t=203s <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH7hYJnoNpM&t=203s> .  The usual caveats about no no two Rhodes being identical apply.

We did have one screw back out once - I believe it was where the boom gooseneck attaches. We rotated the the ring until we either found the hole or made a new hole (I forget, it was a long time ago) and screwed it back in.
