John: In its original application, the stainless plate that installs around the mast collar was intended to be installed AFTER the mast is inserted. The idea being that the stainless plate then compressed the rubber gasket and formed the final seal. Since your boat has had repairs done in this area, I cannot advise on your plans. I can say this: it is typically difficult enough to insert the mast into the fiberglass hole, let alone through the stainless plate. For what it is worth, I've done some repairs to my hole and still use the rubber gasket and plate with great success. |
