Metalmast Marine replacement mast step
Several Pearson models were designed with the mast stepped on a steel plate in the bilge (10M, 365, 323). Water in the bilge completes a galvanic cell and causes corrosion in the bottom of the aluminum mast. One solution to this problem is the replacement of the steel step with an aluminum one. Metalmast Marine can fabricate a new step as a bolt-in replacement that raises the mast out of the bilge water. You cut off the bottom portion of the mast (how ever much you think you need to) and send the cut-off portion and the OEM mast step to them. Thay fabricate the new step with a riser to put the mast at the right height with the removed portion. Cost is in the $400 range.
