55)) Attach the amas.
Lift the ama from the trailer and move out to
the end of the beam. With the outboard side of
the ama on your thighs, insert the pin on the
outboard end of the beam into the hole in the
ama casting. Align the holes on the inboard
side of the ama with its beam fitting. Use your
index finger to depress the button on the quick
pin and insert it through the aligned holes.
Repeat for the opposite side.
66)) Attach the mast base to the
bottom of each mast.
While the masts are still on the trailer,
remove the mast bases from the cockpit and
place them onto the bottom of the masts.
There is a right and a left mast base. Make
sure that the foil retraction lines and the hal-
yard cleats are on the outward side of each
mast.
NOTE: For good mast rotation it is good to
lubricate the mast pivot points. There are four
on each mast: the compression strut, the
boom, the shock and the mast base socket. A
little silicone lubricant is very helpful on these
points. The steel quick pins work better with a
little oil as well.
77)) Secure the port mast base
to the port ama.
Lift the port mast from the trailer and move
back to pull the mast from under the king post
wire. Move it forward until the mast base is
near the ama
and the top is
forward of the
boat. Set the
mast down.
Align the
holes between
the plastic
mast base
socket and
the steel mast
base bracket
on the ama.
Insert the
quick pin.
