Hello folks. I purchased early hunter 260 with strange mast raising system. Gin pole looks like this. Its almost as thick as my mast. Can someone who has same system send me a picture of base of their mast so i can see what kind of recepticle this gin pole connects to? Currently mast has metal plate rivited over whatever it was before on my mast. I have a suspicion that previous owner damaged it and instead of properly fixing it he just closed it off. Thank you in advance!

If it's non standard (not factory) yours might be the only one that way 
.
The factory one on the 26 fits into a hole on the front side of the mast near the base. Probably under that metal plate riveted to your mast. But perhaps there is another version?
Here is the factory drawing of the 260 one if you haven't seen it already https://sbo.sailboatowners.com/downloads/Hunter_260_28617783.pdf

You should go to the small boat section of Hunter to address this but I can help some here. First which mast and boom do you have, either US Spars, charleston Spars or the third one. Look on either boom or mast for a manufacturer emblem. Also a picture of the item on the mast you referenced here.
