Hey, can anyone tell me what the distance is between the step and the mast, as it sits in the stern carrier? Thanks.
Joe

Bill,
I like your idea as well and will copy it. The mast flexing has
bothered me since I added the raising system 3 years ago. I have been
taking it down off the crutch & lashing to the stern rail which
allows me to support it w 2 throw cushions @ the cabin top.
I like your solution better. It is easier than lifting the mast up &
down off the crutch.
Thanks,
