Oh boy, now I get to clean up the mast step and make it all pretty too? Checking the screws and their condition makes sense to do now too. My step is really nasty looking now, but if it can be removed then I can drill it all pretty in the drill press and clean it and paint it and then reinstall it. I will also check to see if that small hole to the rear of the mast could be enlarged to act as a better drain.

I don't recall seeing the adjustment slots, is that what they were talking about in the Conundrum thread? I can only be thinking about getting my boat back to work, the concept of making go fast is for a whole other day.
