It's finally springtime in Alaska and I'm getting 'Sparkle Plenty' ready for the water. Trailering to her winter storage last fall she sustained a slight dent, or 'ding', on one side of the mast where the spreader mounts with two bolts- It's actually at the bolt hole where continuous pressure was applied during the trip... about the size of a dime and sunk in maybe a quarter inch..
As this is now a possible point of weakness, I'm wondering about re-drilling these holes up, or down, several inches on the mast? A half foot maybe?? Which would be better, slightly higher, or slightly lower.. and how might this adversely affect performance/safety??
Thanks all~
