In Response To: Strip: Maroske fittings (Brock Obee)

Hello Brock

The maroske fittings are fantastic. I use them all the time using carbon fiber/glass composite tubing. The glass tubing is not as durable so I use two layers if I go with glass alone. I use glue sticks that I coat with wax. The glue sticks come out ok but when coated with wax they come out very easy. I reuse all the glue sticks. Let one end stick out about an inch so you can push and pull at the same time. Once they break free they come our pretty easy.

I use 3/8" OD tubing on the fitting I want to run bungee through and leave it in. The tubing is extra insurance for leaking and provides friction to hold the bungee. That way only the section you are pulling stretches.

They are very simple to install and a great way to get that all important perimeter line on your boat. Bungee is good for holding your lunch.
