[C320-list] Burgee halyard

[Utility Email]

I have burgee halyard installed on each lower spreader.  I use one for a courtesy flag and the other for a radar reflector.  One burgee halyard came with the boat from the factory, the other I installed.  Both with eye straps tapped and screwed into the underside of the lower spreader with small blocks integrally attached to the eye strap.  I used ss screws tapped into the underside of the lower aluminum spreader.  I coated the threads with Lanocote to help prevent eletrolosis between the ss screws and the tapped holes in the aluminum spreader.  I also used nonconductive nylon washers between the eyestrap and the aluminum spreader.  The factory installed eyestrap and block are attached to the spreader with ss rivets.
