I recently bought a 2004 Mac 26M with a broken mast. The new mast is in place but there is a nagging doubt in my mind about how high from the deck, from the bottom mast plate, to the gooseneck for the boom should be located. We tried to carefully match the old mast, but it seems a little too low. When the dodger is on, the back end of the boom wants to rest on it. Is someone willing to give me a measurement of where their gooseneck attaches to the mast?
Clarification: The new mast from Blue Water Yachts had no holes drilled in it.
