[quote=MN3][quote=yurdle]the rivets in the mast base have all broken the aluminum below them, so that without silicone sealant holding the base on it could just be pulled off of the mast .. it would take a decent amount of force, but I'm sure I wouldn't have trouble finding some good torque out on the water. Is it safe to use as it is? [/quote]
[b]OMG NO!... [/b]if the rivets are gone... then the ball / mast can fall /rip off in a wave/tack/jibe/breeze, etc. you could also rip out the dolphin striker assembly... and ruin the front beam as well...
not to mention you could drop the mast on someone (or yourself) and kill them.
