All good! boat is an 81 and I don't know if the mast base is OEM but I suspect it is. I'll try to post some pic's tomorrow as I'm not quite sure what to do, The rivet ripped out of the mast on one side and ripped through and broke off a piece of the base on the other side.

I'm pretty worried that I won't be able to get the base securely back in the mast?

Timbo, don't worry! I checked really good before raising the mast. Been reading up on all of this for a month now.
