Have you done a leak test to identify the problem spot. <br> <br>What I did was drill out a mast base rivit. <br> <br>Wash and soaped up my mast real good. <br> <br>Then blew air into the mast with a shop vac. <br> <br>While air is being blown in continue drenching all the potential points with a soapy spoonge. Any bubbles need attention. <br> <br>What I found was my mast was leaking at the diamond wire tang through bolt at the top of the mast. Apply silicone then immediately tighten the diamond wires. <br><br>Mark <br>Inter 20 no. 274 <br>Houston, TX
