How did they mount in the pedestal hole? None of the ones I looked at showed how this is done. They all show the piece that slides onto a track.

Also, what did you not like about it? I've heard the complaint about the lines getting in the way. But I'm leaning towards not putting any more holes in my boat that I don't need to. Thanks

I've had a couple. One was a machined aluminum base that sat in the pedestal hole, it was nice and tight and better than the other I had with the plastic end. Both needed cables that attached to the front cleats to make them feel safe in any conditions.

My current pair of Big Jon masts: <url url="[Permission to view this media is denied]

These mount to 4×4" flat plates that are on the floor (never even notice they're on the floor) if the boards ever dive (Mike's boards don't dive) and pulled hard on the mast, the mast will hit the gunnel of the boat providing extra support (see pic).

I'm going to sell these super cheap with a pair of Talonz boards and a box of various tension releases because they need to go to a good home where they won't be neglected.
