[Alberg30] Mast Step Bolts

[George Dinwiddie]

I think there may be core at the aft end of the step.  Steve Weinberg 
did a similar repair some years back.  He wrote it up for the Mainsheet 
and it was reprinted in the maintenance manual (unfortuanately out of 
print, at the moment).

Well, maybe that won't help.  I just checked the old onelist archives 
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/alberg30/message/91) and see that his 
issue was with the fixed plate, not the adjustable one.

This didn't sit well with my memory, so I went and got my copy of the 
manual.  He removed the fixed plate so he could embed bolts in the deck 
that protrude through the orignally threaded holes (now drilled out for 
clearance).  His moveable plate then fit down over those bolts and is 
fastened with lock nuts.  The full description is on pages A3&A4 of the 
manual, if you can get hold of a copy.
