I leave my Getaway on a lift in southern Florida. The ball is stripped each time I lower the mast (about every other year when I change the shrouds). This situation makes lowering the mast a bit more difficult.

What is the solution for this problem?

Maybe try to limit the rotation when in storage. Likely the mast rotating back and forth in the wind day-in and day-out... damages it.
