I have a 1994 Hobie 16 and I can't get the teflon chip to stay in place on the mast step of this boat. When I step the mast I make sure that the chip is centered under the mast, but during the course of sailing the chip always manages to work its way back (toward the trampoline) so that it is way of center. As a result, when I go to lower the mast, the mast step pin will no longer align easilly with the "16" hole on on the mast step link and I have to use a hammer to tap it into either the 14 or 16 hole depending on how badly off center the chip is. This seems to happen every time regardless of whether or not I flip, how strong the wind is, etc. This boat is my 3rd Hobie 16 and I never had this problem with either of my previous two boats and I'm not doing anything differently. On my previous boats I would use the same chip for months and it always took to the shape of the mast base and stayed wedged securely and centered in place. With this boat, The chips slide off center and get shredded up with each sail. Any suggestions? Thank you.
