Looking to add mast mounted fixed ring whisker pole mount to my boat.
To date, I have not been able to find suitable unit as the foreward edge of
the mast is 'almost' flat and the mast has a conduit mounted inside. Have
found many rings with rounded or curved mounting bases that are not the
correct diameter and have found a few units that have flat bases with
vertically centered mounting holes. The centered mounting hole would creat
a problem with the internal conduit. Do you know of a unit that has a flat
mounting base with two or four mounting holes on the side of the base?

Looking for a solution. :confused:

Re

Two options. Call the manufacturer of the mast and see if they have them. Second, call Garhauer, they can make or modify just about anything you need in stainless.

Thanks Ken,
I had thought of your suggestion but decided to give the boat owners a try first.

Thanks again

Your mast has a flat front side? My mkI is round. I got my curved base ring on eBay and modified curve to fit in vice using crescent wrench. Has 4 mounting holes on corners....no holes in center but you shouldn't worry about conduit, just use 1/2"screws. Garhauer will build u one for $45 but they need template which got complicated for me. Good luckluck
