See this thread... it has images of the base and the topper. We made the base taller to help the topper clear the battens when furling the sail.

| Post subject: | Mast rotator base |
hello I read that there is a new taller mast rotator base for the spinnaker kit. I found a picture that should show the old base and the new base. it it right? https://scontent-mxp1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.15752-9/32457089_10156352346729784_1125831084286672896_n.png?_nc_cat=0&oh=ac0cceb414f2b97f8968cabd50472e32&oe=5B98112C But if i look at the videos or I read the installation instructions of the spinnaker kit I cannot see this part. I can see that the "mast tip rotator" is attached directly to the mast without any other part (base). where am I wrong? how is this base used? how is the little hole on top of the base used, is there a screw to fix it to the mast? |

Thanx Matt, but what I didnt understand is where and how the base is mounted. This is not shown in the videos I have seens and also in the instructions. it is bolted to the mast top? ps. in this recently posted pic i finally see where is the base mounted. it's inserted inside the mast tip rotator. how it is fixed to the mast probably just "plugged" without any bolt https://asthmastory.com/images/greg1.jpg |

Cprrect. It is a friction fit, with all forces on it being from below, there is no need for any other fixing |

The base has a screw that attaches it to the topper. |
