For the first time last winter, we winterized our boat with the mast up. In the Spring I noted a slight buldge at the base of the mast. I noted then that it was filled with waterand there were no drainage holes. Questions: has anyone experienced that before? Can the buldge be fixed?

I have a US Spar (formerly Z Spar) in-mast system that has been left up for most of the last 12 winter. Never had a problem like you are describing. Contact US spar (Julian or Mike) and see what they say. George Fox US Spars 386 462 3760 6320 NW 123rd place Gainesville, FL 32653 george@usspars.com www.usspars.com
