How did you get it to keep spraying all the way up, just cinch down a zip tie over the button?
I think the zip tie is looped over the button and another zip tie goes from that to the bottom of the can, when he pulls the downhaul it tugs down and depresses the button... I think. Quick video, but I'm impressed.
I do have an issue with one gate trying to snag on the slugs as they pass by. I have yet to spend anytime adjusting, fine tuning, lubing etc. I think with a little attention they will work even better.

Congrats on your purchase. Last week I bought an '86 new style. My main sail is in bad shape. I went online to CAtalinaDirect. Did your new sail come with the Catalina 22 logo and number on it?I just talked to Judy. Great resource. Placed an order for
Catalina 22 Cruising Mainsail (Challenge Hi Modulus Dacron) [Sail Cloth:Challenge Hi Modulus 6.03 Dacron][Design:CrossCut][Wind Range:Usually under 20 kts, occasionally to 25][Reefs:1 Reef][Batten Type:Standard Fiberglass (Not Tapered)][Battens:1 Full, 3 Partial][Trim Stripes?raft Stripes][Enter your sail #:14612]
In the long run I am sure this is better than repairing my old tattered sail. It is just more money in that hole in the water!

You're quickly find a HUGE difference. Sailkote is not dry silicone. That 3M stuff will gum up and attract dirt.It's 3m dry silicone lube off Amazon. Description was almost verbatim the same as sailkote but half the price.

Tried all the Google terms I can think off and no luck finding this trash can for the boat. Can anyone point me in the right direction?Trash can was/is "Rubbermaid #2845 wastebasket, 14 1/4" x 8 1/4" x 15"
I'd simply contact Rubbermaid and see if they have the same model under a new number.Tried all the Google terms I can think off and no luck finding this trash can for the boat. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

We are going to Destin via gulf. Nothing against ditch but we bought a sailboat to sail! If conditions aren't good for an offshore sail we will reschedule.Bushav,
On your trip to Destin, are you going VIA the gulf, or the intracoastal ditch?
Are you aware that next May C-22 Fleet-77 will again host their annual C-22 cruise out of Ft Walton Yacht Club, (the "North Gulf Coast Cruise"), and following the cruise, they will host the C-22 Nationals again. Heck, you're right next door!

Hope to see you at these events next year,
