Paul:
Quite honestly, I have never seen a mast bonded to the mast step,
whether 'keel stepped' or 'deck stepped'. If the mast bottom is
'bonded', what happens to the water that undoubtedly makes its way down
the inside of the mast?
I'm with Ed on this one.....why would you even consider applying an
'adhesive' to the bottom of the mast? I have stepped masts, my own and
others, and have never seen the need to bond the bottom of the mast.

I don't see why you would want to bed the base of the mast. I think
letting any water which gets inside the mast into the bilge is best.
Maybe to reduce corrosion ...

Hi,
I will be stepping my mast within the next week or two. One of
the folks at my marina asked if I was going to slather the bottom
of the mast with Dolfinite. I have never heard of this stuff
before. I looked into it and it looks reasonable. What do other
apply or use when stepping their mast? I already have the silver
dollar I found under the mast back in place....
Thanks for any insight.
