[C38] mast boot

[Max Soto]

Hi Michael ,  I'm using the selfbonding Lifesafe Mast boot that I bought from Defender. Is cheap and seals very well, but I  have to replace it every three years here in the tropics.
Hope this helps!

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.
