This week we took down my solcat 18 mast. We drilled a hole through the base and put a pin in there, and attempted to slowly lower the mast, but the weight overtook us and the mast crashed down, bending the pin and pulling the base part of the mast that sits on the ball of the forward crossbeam partway out of the mast. if this has happened to anybody else, please respond! Also please give any ideas on how to fix this.
