Don't have any small rubber plugs on my 25. Is this a C250?

It is called a T-ball retaining plug and is used on the mast end of shrouds on the C250. I would try calling Catalina or Catalina Direct first. This has come up before so I think some other C250 sailor will reply soon with a supplier.

Here is a link to a site that carries T-ball backing plates and the plugs. This is to be illustrative. I don't know what size the C250 uses. Basically there is a slot in the mast (or this "backing plate") . The shroud end fitting has a T-ball that fits in the slot. The "retaining plug" is pushed into the slot above the T-ball and keeps the T-ball fitting in the slot even as the shroud is loosened up for mast raising and lowering.
