[C320-list] SS covers over turnbuckles

We always lift them and rinse them with fresh water when we are putting the boat away after a sail.

John, I also noticed when I slipped my ss cover off turnbuckle a number of 
them collect water. Are you experiencing the same problem. Looks like a 
design fault. It appears there is no avenue for the water to escape past the 
lower cap. Does anyone have any suggestion? Perhaps a groove in the lower 
cap or a drilled hole in the lower part of the ss cover might work.  Peter "

I'm getting ready to go over my rigging later this year but this is my first 
Catalina with these SS covers over the turnbuckles. I don't really like 
them, but I understand their use.  What is the best way to take the SS 
covers off ?  And is there anything else I need to know before I start work? 
Thanks, JOHN     Holokai 2
