[C38] mast boot

[Michael Norcross]

Hey gang, I have some water coming thru under the mast, which most likely
Is the old mast boot. Can anyone recommend a boot to replace it. I noticed one at catalina direct for 34, 36, and after an internal discussion , they called to say it might fit. Any thoughts out there.

It drains the bilge into the sink after a rain or a hard day of beer drinking with ice melting from the box. Its switch is on the panel. A bigger one with the automatic switch is next. Finally, in toward the bow sits the Rule 2000. I need to flip a switch on the panel to get it to pump. With luck, I will never have to use the large one.  I also have a manual Whale back by the helm.
