Hi guy's. Does anyone happen to know the size of the thumb screw for the pop top on a 88D. Or has someone come up with a better system.
Thanks Rod.

Hi Rod
a thumbscrew could be a pain to deal with
if lost under sail.
in your case I would try regular screws with head
that could be easily tightened with collapsible pliers
or socket/ratchet.
I have a socket/ratchet ready to pin the
swing keel on my M21.
put a little electrical tape around the socket
so it does not fall off when most needed.
hope this helps. doesn't it suck when not a single
reply is made to a Post?

I ran 24" of line through hole in pop-top w/knot on end. I then just lash to mast. Not perfect, but better than ductape and bailing wire..
