Baby Bob to the rescue - I hope!

Phatom - is the pic in this thread yours?

I see how you bent the aluminum to fit over the top of the mast. Looks like you then have a piece of channeled aluminum attached to that and then the baby bob to the channel aluminum

Is that correct? Seems easy enough.

What thickness of aluminum did you use?

Thanks for the help. I want to get out on the water this weekend but definitely want this in place first.

It is :)

It was easy, I did it in about 1 1/2 hours. All of the aluminum I bought at Lowe's and it looks like the L channel is just under 1/8th of an inch thick and the flat bar was 1/8 inch thick. Don't leave home without it! :)
