General Care and Maintenance
TL;DR
- Use Tef-Gel in adapter pin holes
- Ensure proper thread engagement of fuselage hardware (2x diameter of screws: 12mm for M6, 16mm+ for M8)
- Remove your foil when you're not foiling
- Rinse your mast and adapter after use
- Remove the adapter when not foiling for extended periods
- Store out of the sun and ideally inside
Abiding by the above guidelines will ensure your mast lasts a lifetime. Failure to follow will result in excessive wear and corrosion which can be repaired at owner's expense.
Integrated Mast Setup & Gen2/Fusion Swap
RE: Compatibility with Fusion
Current Gen FD Integrated masts (Serial FD200+) are cross compatible between Fusion and Gen2 systems. However, we recommend using the barnacle if you have both systems to minimize wear and tear on the cables. Launch Batch masts are not compatible with Fusion without the use of the Foil Drive Barnacle (Serial FD001-FD099).
Masts with serial# greater than 100 (FD100-199) are directly compatible with fusion. If switching between the two cable lengths, be very careful and move slowly. Ensure splices are not crossing over each other, binding, or proud of the mount cavity. Contact us with any questions as we are happy to help!
