DF95 DF65 Ballast bulb support

This is a ballast bulb holder that will help support your boat on the factory stand. It will prevent the weight of the fin and bulb from damaging the boat hull by hanging in the breeze. It will also help the boat stay on the stand if it gets bumped accidentally.

It should be tight enough to slide on the rods, but not be too loose. The holder has a taper that matches the bulb so check the direction when you put the boat on the stand. By squeezing the rods inward a bit, you should be able to pop the holder on and off the stand without taking it apart.

I used 1/8" adhesive backed closed-cell foam to pad the cradle area. The cradle area is designed for this thickness of foam so it matches the bulb very well. Thicker or thinner foam will change the fit!

I have two versions of each holder. One is a single STL that fits my stands perfectly. However, my stand does not fit some other DF95/DF65 stands. It allows too much gap in between the bulb and the holder. I chalked this up
