[quote=turbohobo]Damon, what the diagram does not show is that when the mast is laying across the tramp, you cannot drop the mast base onto the ball, the rotator arm hits the beam, you have to have the mast at about a 30-35 degree angle before the rotator clears the beam, only then will the mast base drop onto the ball. I built a tripod using 2" PVC that I use to rest the mast head on, while the mast base butts up against the beam with the rotator arm pointing down through a cutout in the tramp sepcifically designed to accommodate the rotator. This gives me that angle, then I walk around to the mast base, lift it onto mast step ball, line up holes and pin with a phillips screwdriver, step the mast, remove pin, and attach forestay.[/quote]
