Bronco Type XXIII by Ken

Looking good Ken, I love my Type XXIII!

Another valid way Romel.

I've used the square tubing this way before and it works great for me, so I went with it.

Any problems with the tubes seizing due to corrosion?

On my Marlin I have telescoping brass tubes for the periscope and snorkel. The snorkel is also used to turn on lights. No corrosion. But the inner brass tube accumulates black tarnish on it which is removed periodically by a slight sanding and cleaning. All part of maintenance. I'm sure the outer tube has tarnish on the inner side which I do not clean, not easy to get to, but once the inner tube is clean it works fine. Had that boat in use since 2011ish and it spent 7-8 months lost underwater. Never had to replace any of the brass.

That's good to know. Thank you.
