Newboy Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 Rubber cone sharped concertina thingy. Quote
Swainiac Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 It looks very similar to a gaiter used on driveshafts in the motor trade. What are the dimensions of the shaft and the hole it needs to cover?? Rich Quote
Newboy Posted August 13, 2004 Author Report Posted August 13, 2004 The hole is about 65x65mm and the drag link is about say 50x20cm. Quote

Bob F Posted August 19, 2004 Report Posted August 19, 2004 Affectionally called "witches hats". Tip: obvious, but worth mentioning...you will have to cut a hole in the pointy end to pass the cables through. Keep this hole as small as possible so that the cables pass through with a tight fit. This will limit the amount of water that can leak through from the transom to the inside deck. My witches hats had wide holes (fitted from the factory) that let in too much water. I had to seal them.
