Plugs at the base of the mast on a
deck stepped mast are particularly subject to corrosion
and failure.

So what do you do drill a big hole in the deck and pass the wires thru?

At least I'm smart enough to not get up a creek without a
paddle during hurricane season like some idiots around
here.

Yeah, and that's the only thing you can get up.

Small hole with deck fitting. (West Marine 2003 catalog page 70
part number 181859).

But you said you didn't like deck fittings/plugs. You said they were a source
of corrosion.

Sometimes they cannot be avoided but I don't recall saying any
such thing. And, really, what's the difference between a hole in
the deck through the mast step for the wires and a hole in the
deck beside the mast step for wires except for the fact that
an accessable fitting is preferable to an unaccessable fitting?

Why should I be jealous of Horvath? Because he's so tall and
good-looking? Because he's so popular? Because of his yacht, his
mansion, his Harley collection? Because of his beautiful female
fiance? I'm not jealous of him, I am him.

I don't spend my money on food. I spend most of my money
on women, porn, booze, and recreation. The rest of it I just waste.

"We" are the non-profit sailing organization of which I'm
a member. I was originally interested in buying it for myself,
but the organization needs it more than I want it.

So you have to wait in line to use it. Just like your boyfriend.

Fantasy is a good friend of yours isn't it Horvath? It must help with the
ridicule you suffer when men laugh at your pendulous breasts!
