John,

I just finished my Cape Ann Expedition for which I made 22 Maroske fittings with vinyl tubing and rope. I doped up the tubing with PVA first, and they pulled out fairly easily. I too used the fiberglass sleeve and had a coule of fittings leak. I added a thrist coat of epoxy and fixed it, then I painted them black to prevent light from passing through. I think the paint helped make them watertight :-) I'll post another pic with the finished fitting
