Re: SYNTRON SHAFT SEAL MAINTENANCE
In 2019 I decided to replace the Syntron Shaft seal with a Norscot Shaft seal for at least half the price ($350) of a Syntron seal rebuild kit. Plus the lead time was longer than I could tolerate. It is a good seal but requires external lubrication from a reservoir using transmission fluid. I figure...

Re: Freedom 36 battery location and number?
Mine are located under the galley sink. I moved them to accomodate 4 six volt golf cart batteries and to be nearer to the relocated electrical panel which is now on the side of the galley cabinetry. The space under chart table is now for the the inverter and the hot water heater is now under the set...

Re: Mast Collar
You are welcome. Glad it worked out for you. I tried to get a mast boot last spring from them and they were all out and lead time didn't match my launch date.
