That is definitely worth noting. Not something that I would have connected.
Thank you for posting.

Re: F38 Masthead Unit
Thank you both. Leaning towards a rigid vang, it also has the benefit of stopping the annoying chafing of the main by the topping lift.

Re: F38 Masthead Unit
I guess an alternative to topping lift is a solid vang. Is a solid vang without a topping lift secure on an F38? This would avoid my need to replace the masthead.

F38 Masthead Unit
I need to replace the masthead unit on my F38. The shaft securing the topping lift tore threw the back of the masthead. I may be able to rig an alternative topping lift support but would prefer to replace the whole unit. Any thoughts where I can locate one?

Re: SS Marine Hot Water Tank
The heating element corrodes pretty easily. I thought my tank "leaked" only to find it was the heater element. A cheap and easy replacement. I hope you find the same!

Mast Headlight bulb
Does anyone know the type of bulb used in a masthead light on an 1990 F38. I changed it once before and noticed that it was a low profile bulb. The one I installed was standard and touched the top of the glass bulb ( and burned out pretty quick, as a result).

Re: Freedom 38 Fairclough Cover
This cover is still available. Thought it was going on my son's boat but too much effort to get it to him. Cover, frame and wood for $200. Has a tear that needs repair.
