Re: Enlarging the mastgate


 

Hi All,
?
Continuing this thread as I don¡¯t recall another on a related subject. I ordered the tides track and due to Joe Cleary¡¯s suggestion tried removing the top of the mast which worked better than expected. ? So next challenge was getting the screws out of the track. ?All were firmly mounted but came loose except the longer screw in the very top track which had to be removed via an extraction tool. ?That was successful today! ?

So I thought the rest would be easy( oh but it¡¯s a boat project.) ?The top section moves only about 1/8¡± up and down. I¡¯ve checked the paint and run the knife blade down each side with no real catches.?

I don¡¯t see a build up of paint and the mast appears clean inside and out, please tell me there isn¡¯t some kind of nut behind the original track? ?How does the track remove??
