| Mast Boot Tape | |

Mast Boot Tape is used in applications where no suitable
Mast Boot is available, or in conjunction with a
Universal Mast Boot.
While not as durable or long-lasting as a real Mast Boot, Mast Boot Tape is waterproof
and
offers the adaptability to fit almost any application and can be installed while the Mast
is up.
It must be replaced every time the Mast is unstepped. As these tapes are not particularly
chafe-resistant, a fabric cover or
Universal Mast Boot
is recommended.

Mast Boot Clamps,
Deck Collars, and

| White Mast Boot Tape | |
|
White Mast Boot Tape is self-amalgamating, that is it will adhere to itself after being stretched.
This Light-duty Mast Boot Tape is 4" (102mm) wide x .5mm thick (unstretched), and, as it is
relatively
thin, several layers are recommended to help keep sharp edges and corners from breaking through.
White Mast Boot Tape is easy to install and does not include a liner as the self-amalgamating
feature
is not activated until it is stretched. Tape is easily removed with a knife or razor, and leaves no
sticky residue.

itself
into a solid piece of Rubber after installation.
