The instruction sheet that came with the N Pryde GlideWind foil is just a parts list, so I have some assembly questions.

Mast to the base (base being the part that fits into fin box) screw, one youtube video says use blue LocTite on the screw, another video says to use an anti-sieze. Which do you suggest?

Fuselage to mast screws, and wing to fuselage screws, one video shows thread tape on the screws. Is using thread tape the best thing to use?

Thanks in advance

Ted gel from marine supply, or any other marine anti corrosion.
Instead of loctite, check all screws each day before heading out.
Take apart and live every 10 days for salt water use, every 15 days for fresh.
Your mast fills with water in an hour of use and doesn't drain.

He intended to say Tef Gel (I'm sure just a typo or autocorrect). You'll find if discussed if you search here including a video on how to apply properly. Loctite? If you don't use something like Tef Gel, you won't need to worry about Loctite - but you will be looking at the other posts about how to remove a frozen screw .

Everything else LeeD says: +1 (including using Ted Gel Tef Gel ) Have fun!

Thank you very much for the info LeeD and Paducah. Should I use Tef Gel on all the screws?

Tefgel, all screws if you ever intend to be able to loosen, but check tightness everytime you go out.
Marine lubes are all messy.
