[quote=turbohobo]Cut as little off of the mast as possible, the mast base has a lip that fits into the mast tightly, it most probably also has holes drilled from previous rivits, trying to line up on these holes to drill new holes in the mast is very difficult but has to be done as you don't want to drill new holes, this will weaken the mast base, remember, it's made of aluminum. Once you have the holes lined up, get out the silicone, calk/seal mast base, using [b]stainless steel[/b] rivits, attach the mast base to the mast, my mast base has 8 rivits around the base, and don't forget to seal the rivits when finished. The mast will be shorter and you will have to adjust your shrouds accordingly.[/quote]
