Hello all, I am new to this site. I am re-doing a 1971
Morgan 40, Cruising
Ketch in hopes of spending a year or so aboard when I retire in a year or two. I want to step the main
mast to replace lights with
LED lights, replace all
wiring and the antennae, put a
wind indicator on and possibly
paint (the
aluminum is dark and ugly). Do any of you know if I can simply pull the
mast straight up or if it is bolted or pinned to the step? I can't see or access the step without removing my
fuel tank which has about 70 - 80 gallons of
diesel in it! Oh I forgot, also to replace stays and chain plates.
