Rigging Tube Split

[spareparts]

i absolutely hate rigging tubes, I've seen them cause more problems than they solve, and when you try to replace anything, its a pain in the butt. I use the spiral wrap over the rigging, if you want it to look pretty, then use the canvas thing like MJ posted, we get our local canvas guys to make them out of scrap

Thanks guys!! Yes I had the same problems as he stated and id not want to go thur taking all apart, as my hands and crap are not what they use to be. This was simple and easy and looks good. A little more maintenance but heck after a day on the water your back there flushing the motor any way, it only takes a couple of min. to spray off the sleeve also.

MJ, I've found way too many rigging tubes that held water, you could trim the motor up and sea water would run out of the tubes. Don't think that the rigging tube was keeping water away from your rigging, its actually keeping it submerged on most cases

Agreed! That is a good thing here as it just runs out thur the fabric. But Ideally it would be nice to keep it all dry! But I have never been able to with the set ups I have had?
