Halyard exit holes from mast
Posted: Sun Jun 23, 2019 9:36 am
Still sorting out my boat and looking at the rough holes that have been cut for the halyards to exit from the mast. I can see that some of the halyards rub up against some sharp edges which doesn't seem right to me.
I was thinking that I may insert these through deck fittings I found on APS on to the mast.

or depending on size of halyard http://www.apsltd.com/thru-deck-bush-w- ... screw.html
Would this be a good solution?
If I need to round out the existing cut for the fitting, is that something that I could do with a Dremel tool? Haven't worked on the mast yet, don't know how hard the metal is.
