Newbie Question

 I am trying to find the proper name of the two "slide" fitting with thumb screw tighteners which fit on the CP19 mast above and below the boom?  My boat is missing one and it sure would help if I knew what to ask for

Thanks

They call those SLIDE STOPS.

They should cost about 10 bucks or so, and you might want to buy a extra. I dont have a extra and I know Ill need one someday........ I am tempting fate I guess.....

Never heard them called slide stops. I've always called them track stops.

Barry,
If you come to Tampa Bay I have about 3 of them you can have. Only problem is they are at the bottom of St. Joesph Sound 

Or you could get some here....

The Davis 2350 seems to work well on my 19 and is most similar to the original ones. I found the diameter of the threaded bolt was a little too large, making it hard to move it in the track, so I used a bench grinder to flatten the sides just a little bit, in the area where they contact the slot (not where the nut threads on, of course).

Don't buy from Worst Marine if you can help it. Defender has consistently lower prices, friendlier service, more reasonable shipping charges. Their price is $8.99. Only a dollar savings on this particular item, but wait til you try and buy a gallon of bottom paint!

Wes, I too had to grind my threads down a bit.....

Worst Marine....  I never heard that before but that is funny.

Welcome. Now the big question: Are you a car beemer boy or a motorcycle beemer boy?

I tried one and it didn't fit very well so I returned it and now use a tight bungee above the feeder slot in the mast to keep the slugs from coming out when I drop the mainsail.  I can slide the bungee up and down when needed.

When I bought our 23 it came with a stop and I was happy to see it.  My previous boats didn't have one and I could certainly see the advantage of having one.  Of course the very first time out with the 23 I dropped the stop immediately overboard.  I decided to make my own by buying a 24" chunk of aluminum round rod.  I cut a 2 1/2 inch piece, drilled a hole near each end and then tapped them out.  A couple of hardware store knobs with male threads made perfect tighteners.  Now I have a longer stop with two tightening bolts that is much harder to drop and lose.  I made up a spare though, just in case.

   That's a great idea for making a homemade stop...I might steal your idea. I have never lost a stop (yet) because I only remove/install at season's end and beginning.

after seeding the bottom with a number of expensive dropped stops, I went to this.  Cost about four bucks.
