Posts: 4,118 Northfield Mn | You can have a machinest make you a little jack of sorts get it up into the mast and push the dent out from the inside. I've heard of that being done.
I've thought about getting it hot with a torch and spraying it with nitrogen to see if it'd pop back. I've got a C2 mast with a big dent I'd like to pop out.
I'm boatless.

Better yet, make your mast look like a golf ball and see what they say...
