At least I guess that's what it's called. The keel-stepped mast leaks where it passes through the deck on my CD33. I think it's the aluminum flange that is secured to the deck (the one the mast passes through). It seems that the flange needs to be removed and rebedded. But how do you do that? There are all those wooden wedges shoved into the space between the mast and the flange. Can I just remove the wedges, rebed the flange, and redo the wedges or use Spartight? Any experienced advice would be greatfully received.
