Post by capncarp »

Hi everyone, I’m building a radar mast for my X. Unfortunately it is across the country. If there is anyone close to their’s would you measure the dimension’ of the mast shoe. Especially the bolt holes thru the roof. Once complete I post pic’s. Thx guy’s. :macx:

If you can wait till Friday I can post all the dimensions you need. I might need to send them to your home email. I can’t figure out how to post pictures using the add image link. Tony

Here is the link to the mast step on Blue Water Yachts web page. I think it is the same as the one that came on the boat originally. I bought my boat from them but I wouldn't think they would have changed out the factory step. I can send the dimensions on Friday. I will send you a pm with my number if you want to call or text me Friday and we can discuss what you need. Tony

Here’s pics of our ‘99 26X mast shoe. It’s a bit tough to get more accurate while I’m crouched under the winter tarp. Use these pics to verify any other info you receive. I tried to get measurements tape so you could go hole centre to centre.

Hi Tony,
Mainly the inside width and length of the mast step and the dimensions of the bolts width and length.

The bolts that actually mount the step to the cabin top I’m pretty sure are 1/4”. Length I would say is no longer than 1 1/2”. I think the bolt that the mast pivots on is 3/8”, maybe 7/16”. Check your email. I sent you pictures there.
