Setting the Mast on a Hobie Getaway

Just got a used Hobie Getaway. What is the best way to set the mast? It has the ball connector. Do I need to remove the pin at the base of the mast? I have always been a traditional boat sailor. Thanks

I just got one too - youtube getaway setup. The official hobie video is on there! I love my boat - hope you are enjoying it.
