Since my boat weighed in at 129 lbs i didn't do a leak test in the mast cup. Now seeing this i will address it THEN do a leak test. I don't want to chance the water going into a now dry hull.
Question...it seems that the outer glass has worn(chipped or flaked)away from the inside walls of the cup. All cloth and bottom step seems to have maintained their integrity. Can you please give your ideas of the best practice you have experienced correcting and cleaning up this situation.
Side question, it seems like at the bottom there is a perfect spherical shape hole below the step. Is this meant for a place where the sand or debris can fall down in there so as not to grind on the mast. It is solid when I poked it with a big dowell.
