A friend happened by to help raising the mast but I want to solve this for subsequent raising / lowering. I am working on using a combination of using the mast rotater affixed to something, and the placement of the ginpole as you did on the bolt for the mast rotater. Maybe weld the ginpole to a platform, face it with rubber and put it over the mast rotater...

If this is a no go then I will use a double ginpole going out to each end of the Xbar.
