| Post subject: | Mast rotation angle |
Does anyone know what the mast rotation angle is on a new mast base and mast step set? I just came into a used H16 and the stops are pretty beat up. I had a thought of gluing a cap over them to "restore" the original amount of rotation. until I get a few more important things repiared I need to save some cash. |

One way to repair the mast step is to file the stops so you have a 90deg angle. Drill and tap the base and thread in a stainless stud with locktite. File the side that the mast base hits smooth and your good to go for a long time. Did that make sense? |

That was a thought I had as well. I just hate to remove more material than I have too. Especially when using dissimilar metals. But, I still need to know what the overall rotation is so I can repair my stops for the proper angle. |

There is SS and Aluminum all over the boat. It's not the space shuttle. Get er fixed up and go sail. A little less rotation is good. Helps power up the boat. If the stop is beat anyway you have nothing to lose. |

I am pretty sure I have an extra mast base in good shape you could have for cheap. Easy to put on, once you have the dophin striker off. |

No, I saw that too. No a real common last name. Plus he's good and I stink (check out the 20 National final results!) |

You're right about the SS and Al in contact. It's just my enginerd side surfacing. I might take you up on that mast step. I will still need a mast base though. Which leads back to my original questions... What is the total mast rotation angle on the H16? |
