jezqld Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 I realise that this subject has been discussed before, but just hoping that someone might have made/welded/etc a modification to the maricat mast base and step so that it can pivot like a hobie mast? The mast raising is the only thing stopping me buying a Maricat at this stage. I can weld and machine parts if I really have to, but looking for a plan/prototype. I'm an old fart, and I have an arm injury and trying to lift the mast vertically while on the trailer in a car park is bound to result in damage to me or the car. I have watched a few vids on how to do it, but I know its beyond me. The Hobie 14 I had before was OK with the pivot. I would prefer to move to a Maricat if I can. I need to be able to raise the mast in a carpark on the trailer attached to the car, solo. Any creative thoughts appreciated Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darcy1945 Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 Use a H14 Mast, and mod the step, to suit the Mari front beam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
