r/Catamarans

Turtled last week for the first time (both of us safe; had all appropriate safety/cold weather gear and radios)! Have been looking for a mast bob since last season but none of the original Hobie 18 part number (#30113) nor the Mama Bob (#30112) have come up for sale secondhand, and all retailers have been out of stock of the latter for over a year.

Might anyone in New England know where to find one or have one they need to be rid of? Please let me know, my private messages are also open! Mounting hardware isn’t a problem, I could fabricate it if the correct ones aren’t available.

I’m having trouble with the starboard side fly bridge drain. It’s draining extremely slowly. Tried using a drain snake but feels like restrictions in the drain that won’t let it pass. Port side is the same but water flow is perfect. Stuck a hose in both sides and port it goes gushing through where starboard is spraying back out…any suggestions? Should I try warm water, baking soda and vinegar?
