I've known of a fellow using (automobile) radiator hose for that application. 
He got a straight piece, split it into two halves lengthwise and sandwiched 
it between the rotator clamps and the mast. It seems to hold up pretty well 
in sunlight. I wouldn't give rubber a long life in sunlight...
Just a suggestion...
