Any suggestions for new spreader hardware to attach spreader to base on CD 4 mast on CD 27 and where to get it?

Thanks.

I recently bought new spreaders from Rig Rite in Rhode Island. Send email, they will reply

I assume it is similar to my CD28, where the cast aluminum spreader base fittings corroded and cracked. I found Rig Rite useless. They showed the OEM part in their catalogue, and I would have happily purchased a pair, but never could get a firm quote or delivery date. Hopefully you will have a better experience.

After wasting a month, I asked Garhauer make a pair of custom stainless ones for ~$450 which worked fine. You make a drawing of what you want, including the mast exterior profile and they will build one to fit.

While installing them, a workman in the yard told me they have used Catalina 27 bases which are available and leave the shrouds/stays within an inch or so of where they were originally so you can keep the old ones. I can't confirm this and suspect it depends on the mast type, spreader diameter, etc. but it may be worth a few minutes to see what Catalina has available.

Your CD27 has Spartan Spars (unless replaced with something else by a previous owner). Rig-Rite is the sole distributor of Spartan Spars. You’ll find the specs for your mast, boom, spreaders and hardware at their web site.

CD-4 mast section: https://rigrite.com/Spars/Spartan_Spars/cd4_mast.php

If you scroll down the page for the link provided above, you’ll find the hardware, as well as the spreader bases, used on that mast.

If you don’t want to purchase new spreader bases from Rig-Rite, contact the Dwyer Aluminum Mast Co. instead. Keep in mind that Dwyer does NOT make a CD-4 equivalent mast. Using the info and pictures from the Rig-Rite site you may be able to identify some Dwyer parts to fit your mast.
