Just stepped the mast after a deck rebuild...I am the new owner and haven't done it before. Quick note to make things easier. I had a hard time getting the bolts to line up with the bottom plate after driving them thru the top plate and the deck. The new deck holes were precise, but with all those holes, it took some playing around with that bottom plate to get them all thru. Then I remembered an old trick my Dad taught me. Push a spare bolt from the bottom plate up. Then, (using the bolt you are trying to install) drive it back out from the top. Turns a 2 hour knuckle beating and swear fest into a 15 minute operation.
