My mast is laying on sawhorses. Upon inspection, I see corrosion
between the stainless plates where the stays fasten and the mast. These
are riveted on.
So, after I remove and clean up and check how much meat is left, how
do I reattach to prevent new corrosion between the dissimilar metals? If
reriveting, what type rivets?
This mast is bare aluminum. Should it be painted?
Thanks
Gordon
