Hi,
I've got yet another mast step repair question... What is the optimal deck port placement to perform a mast step repair? How many inches from the tube? I'd like to use two ports, one for each side so that I can view the repair from either side to make sure that the repair is solid from both sides. Should I put them directly on either side, toward the bow or toward the cockpit? I really want to be sure as I don't want to compromise the rigidity of the deck in that particularly high stress area. I plan on using 5" deck plates because I have a 5.5" hole saw. Any help is much appreciated.
Regards,
- Leon
