corrosion between mast base and bottom of mast tube will not allow me to separate the two, even after screws were removed or drilled out if they sheared. I've saturated the base with pb baster, but other than a few air bubbles at the joint, no movement.
my mast base is cast aluminum, and has a insert for the deck about the size of a snickers bar. I put a wrench on this part and tried to shake and move the base with no luck. Top mast cap came out fine, lower one has seen more salt water.
Suggestions?
