[Rhodes22-list] Pop top hardware

Thu Apr 14 09:10:18 EDT 2011

Carl,
The description below is correct.  I'll take pictures of the gooseneck slider and attachment arrangement this weekend.  The mast on standard mast boats is from Dwyer.  It should be:

I don't see that they offer the particular gooseneck though.  But what you're looking for is somewhat like DH4100 on this page.  The round slide fits inside the mast groove.  Pictures to follow. - rob

 Carl,

(Sorry for the sloppy description, but it is midnight and I am struggling to see the screen)

  The pop top and slider are two separate panels, with the slider on top of the pop up roof section. There is a sort of three point
attachment. The front has a bracket screwed to the foreward edge of the poptop. This bracket is attached to the mast with sort of
a half of a gooseneck fitting which slides in the sail track.  The older boats had a series of holes drilled in the aft face of the mast (through the sail slot).
When the top was raised, the gooseneck slider part was pushed up the sail slot, to just below the gate and a pin was put through the sail track to hold it up.

For the rear, there are two brackets mounted low on either side of the companionway. To these brackets is attached a frame which looks like
an upside down "U" but squared. (two uprights with a crossbar across the top) The uprights are two pieces. One tube slides inside of the other
so they can be extended. Push-pop pins snap into a hole to keep then extended.

I know this make little sense, but I will attach pics (as I promised you last week).  I have an old bracket assembly in the garage somewhere. If I 
can find all of the pieces, I'll send it to you if you are willing pay the shipping, which shouldn't be much.  Some pics attached. One is of a newer top.

(Rummy) probably delrin for the slider, it's dimensionally stable and I have

some that will probably work.

I didn't know if the old system used a type of clip, or a slider. there is

no hardware at all on mine. I was thinking either a delrin slider or a

stainless block on the cabin roof, and another on the mast, a stainless

tounge clip would clip into both, making the top go all up, or all down. Is

yours adjustable to like halfway? or is it all up or down as well?
