Hi friends,
I did a search but came up blank . . . One of my spreader tips fell off; can't see 'em onCtalina Direct or the factory site, any leads on source or installation instructions?
Thanks
Nick

The only 'tip' (no pun intended) I can mention is the tape. I used 'atomic tape' (silicone sealing tape) and it works great. Other kinds, like rigging tape, may also be fine, but since I used the silicone tape I have not had any ends come loose to flop around.

Nick, do you have a West Marine or Defender catalog on board and at home? They seem to have everything...

Yeah Stu, I have the catalog on board (and the West Marine is at the top of my dock, ~ 175 yds walking, ~ 100 in skiff :) ) . . . since posting I have been advised to just use the generic boots from WM; had thought perhaps a Catalina-specific part was called for. Rigger suggests zip-tying the boots on and taping over the ties. Nice to know; maybe the Turkey weekend trip can be salvaged!
Thanks!
