Quick update on my gooseneck. After Kenyon/RigRite didn't come through with a replacement gooseneck I had Svendsen's/Bay Marine in Richmond, CA rebuild it. Basically, they re-used the piece that attaches to the boom and re-made the rest out of stainless steel. We changed the design a bit so that...

Yes, that's the one. Should be ready to go back in next week :-)

Thanks for your reply Christian! It's definitely beyond repair. I bit the bullet and have a local machine shop fabricate a new one. At least I get to make some design changes that I wanted. I also feel much better supporting a local guy rather then paying sucky rigrite ;-)

Thanks for fixing the images Loren! I uploaded them from my laptop so who knows :-)

WANTED: Kenyon gooseneck Just posted the same in the maintenance thread and thought I do the same here. More is better, right? Would anybody per chance have a spare Kenyon gooseneck K-43002 and be willing to part with it? I believe they came on E34, E35, and E38s. They are for the Kenyon...

Not sure why the images show up rotated after uploading. Any thoughts?

Thanks for all your replies! I figured that the mast was anodized and 99% in good shape. So I did not want to remove the anodization since this just is the best thing that could be on there. I found a paint that's specially formulated for anodized aluminum...

Thanks Christian! Our mast is white and I’m wondering if they were still anodizing the white masts in 89. I read about the Ballenger product in the threads and will look into it once I confirm that my mast is anodized. I’m pretty sure it is. Just want a second opinion :-)

Hi there, we just pulled to mast on our 89 38-200 and the paint is quite faded, especially in the front. It has a Kenyon rig and I was wondering if anybody know if the spars were anodized for the year. Thanks! Peter

Yes, that did the trick! Found access to the filler hose in a little cabinet. Removed some more wood paneling and got access to 90% of the length of the hose. Definitely time for a new hose, clamps, a couple of fittings attached to the tank. I now have the tank moved out of the way enough to...

Thanks for the quick reply Loren! I don’t want a new tank. I just want to temporarily remove the existing one so that I can properly place the new refrigeration lines without kinking them. Any idea on how to detach the filler hose?

I’m installing a new refrigerator and the pipes to the compressor are routed around the port water tank. Ideally I’d like to remove the tank or at least move it over a few inches so that I have enough space to properly place the new lines without kinking them. There is no wiggle room on the...
