I am sure this subject has been discussed many times before. I am looking for more recent views, satisfaction or disatisfaction with the product by Spartite, before investing in a kit. In my most recent travels, with this incredible amount of wet weather in the Chesapeake Bay, many leaks have manifested themselves, the main one being the thru deck hole for the mast. As always, any and all help is appreciated.
MAST LEAKS & SPARTITE

So, just to circle back to you all. As a temporary fix, I cleaned out the gap of the mast hole from inside the cabin. I did not remove the old boot tape. I stuffed foam rope gap filler from the inside up into the mast boot. Got us much up there as possible. The boot bulged a little. I then took marine extended service tape and added a layer over the top part of the boot tape, where it wraps the mast. It has helped tremendously, just a little trickle from the grooves still.
