Base of Mast and Dwyer hinge

Post by johnjax292 »

Two seasons ago I broke my elbow when my mast mount let go while stepping the mast. I was thrown into the air and landed on the dock superman style, both hands down. Thought I tucked and rolled but instead I shattered my radial on my left arm. Now I am attempting to make the repairs. I got a stainless hinge from Dwyer (which happens to be here in Bristol, RI). When I removed the base of the mast, I found the rivets had pulled through the aluminum base. I was wondering if anyone had installed the Dwyer hinge (4x4) and what if any modifications to the mast base were made.

My goal is to get her ready for an early next season launch.

All the Best,
John

Hi - did you install the hinge already? I'm planning the work for the near future -- just got the hinge
