    Rigging tube

    Anyone tried one of those zip up rigging tubes? TH Marine. What’s your opinion about those deals. Seem likely an easy and viable replacement. Is it junk?
    Thanks fellas

    The rigging tube on my Z7 kept cracking from the way it wedges down in the splash well when tilting up the motor. I had it replaced with a TH Marine zippered rigging sleeve around 6 years ago and it is still in good shape.

    I cut the length of my tube and that helped with the cracking. I must've taken about a foot off. Still holding up.

    Thanks man. I think I’ll give it a try. At first glance looked to easy to be true/solid replacement.
