Hunter 260 Ottawa
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!

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.

you have no idea who I am but please advise with photo
