[Alberg30] Mast steps and goosenecks

[EddieDiver at aol.com]

Thanks to this Forum, I checked the gooseneck on #303 Emotional Rescue. There 
was no galvanic corrosion on the S.S. screws but these stainless steel 
sheetmetal scvrews were so loose that I backed them out by my fingers. One 
was missing. I replaced them all and added red Lok-Tite to keep them in.

I also discovered that 3 of the 4 stainless steel round-headed bolts holding 
the mast step to the deck plate are frozen in their threads. Page A-3 in the 
manual doesn't suggest how to get them out.  I will try heat and WD40 (not 
necessarily in that order). Any other thoughts? Thanks. Ed. Schroeder
