Anybody have experience with the base plate of the mast............Finally stepped the mast yesterday on my H356.We were puzzled by the fact there were no thru bolt holes at the base plate.The mast just fits into the step and is secured in place by the struts,stays and weight of mast.I did see a bolt hole fore and aft on the base plate, however we concluded that was for attachments such as blocks etc.My previous boats always had a bolt installed thru the mast and base plate.When we were done everything seemed secure and tight.I just need to tune the rig and attach the boom,etc.
