Subject: Mast base
Info: (13509 views) Posted: Friday 9-29-17 01:46:05 PM
Hello,

Does anyone has photos of their mast base, on deck and inside the base of the mast section?

Ballenger explains some sort of tubing (square tubing about 2" x 2.5" with 1/8" wall) that is apparently screwed onto the stainless plate and into which is the section is simply in place with a bolt going through the section. This allows a little play considering the base of the mast always rocks a little.

I need photos to better understand the mod.

Thanks!

Jerome
