Tim, I have a 1987 35-3 thruhull#231 and my hooks have 2 3/8ths bolts thru the hooks and mast, and there are no sleeves inside the mast. I presume some earlier boats were made with single bolts and that was not enough.The nuts are only snugged up so as to prevent any motion. So get out your long 3/8ths bit and go to it!!! Good luck.

There was mention recently of 'hooks" that insert into the mast collar then bolt to the mast to hold the deck down when running rigging is under tension. On my 35-3, the bolt through the mast has started to tear at the mast column and elongate the holes. I could change the length of the "hooks" and create another hole somewhere else on the mast. In that case, has anyone used a sleeve to stop the relatively small bolt sawing at the mast tube? Does anyone have any other solutions out there (e.g. wire to the mast step each side)?
