[quote=HULLFLYER]You may mean comp tip instead of foam plug. While the mast is upright I would drill out one of the bottom rivets that hold the mast base in place and let the mast drain throughly. Then either pop in a new rivet or a ss screw. (I use a ss screw so I can remove on occasions to se if there is any water in the mast.) Then use a good grade marine silicone sealant and seal anywhere and everywhere there is a through mast fitting or rivet, including the mast head and mast base and if you have a comp tip make sure that you take extra time sealing where the comp tip and metal part of the mast meet. There is a lot of flex and bending at this junction. I have seen hobie masts take in rain water at this location and fill with water 5 or 6 feet up the mast.[/quote]
