Replaced the original rubber shroud retainer plugs on my 23.5 with the new style retainer covers from the SBO store. These are made from a UV stabilized plastic and fairly stout. Installing all five of them took me about 45 minutes and that included grabbing the step ladder so I could reach the jib and upper shroud locations. "A Little Knotty" was still on the trailer with the mast down when I did this. The retainers are riveted in place, you need to drill out the upper rivet from the anti-wear ring and install a new rivet and the retainer. SBO has the SS rivets and the retainers on the same page. Once installed your shrouds won't fall out while stepping the mast. Make sure you have a good rivet gun as the SS rivets are a tough pull.
