Planer Board mast

The is man · 08-09-2010, 10:46 AM

I have been using a mast mounted in my front seat post for about ten years and I love it. I bought an extra seat post and took it to my local welding shop and had them weld a flat piece of steel to the end. Then I bolted my mast to that. I run large double boards and have absolutly no problems.

If you have a taper-lock base I would not do it. I used to do this on my old boat and a coupltimes the mast came loose before I put a hitch pin on the mast. Personnaly I would mount a 12" track somewhere convenient with a backer plate. You will not have any worries. Call Greg Ellison at Traxstech if you have any other specific questions. 586-344-4364

How do you identify the taper-lock base??
