It is looking like it may not fit the hole (repairs have been) at the partners. Too bad. But as I am re-reading all of this info in this thread, I am wondering, does it make a difference if I install the deck plate before dropping the mast in the boat? I am thinking I should install the plate first, then stick the mast in the hole, which will be nice and rigid from the deck plate being there. Not sure if I can fit the gasket in the space, and if not I will try Spartite or some other gasket materials + some silcone sealant. Please let me know what you think. Thanks for your insights.
