I had this made in St Maarten. It is held in with a large socket head SS cap screw. When not in use I put it in the port cockpit locker. Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Hi Eric, |

Nice minimalistic solution. How long do you use it? Is it strong enough? as I understand there is no welding for the main SS tube?

I have had it up as long as 7 days straight x 24 hours. It is not a SS tube is a solid aluminum rod about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. It mounts to a SS thick wall tube. It has a Harken swivel block on the end . Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Hi, I have been away sorry for the late response. The hollow SS tubing in the photo is welded to a plate and is bolted down as in the photo attached. There is a vertical piece of square rod welded inside the tubing at the aft end of the tubing. That mates up with a slot cut in the solid aluminum round stock to index it. This is held in place with a hex head cap screw also shown in the photo. It is so easy to remove that we keep it in the port locker when we are not using it.
