[C320-list] Mast step drain

[Jeff Hare]

Hi,  sorry if this is too late.  The drain in the mast step isn't really visible as a drain. 

Assuming the mast step plate hasn't changed,  look for the U shaped SS bail attached to the aft edge of the step. 

As I recall, the mast step has a drain channel that leads to the area in the step where the bail attaches.

Looking for some more help on an issue I posted a few weeks ago.   I have
water leaking down the compression post when it rains.   On the outside of
the post.   Some members mailed back right away saying there is a drain hole
in the mast step that may be blocked (thanks for the prompt response, I
tried to post back but could not figure out how to do that).   I am at the
boat now but can not find the drain hole.   Our example is a 1994 hull 32.
Maybe the step design has changed over the years.   Does anyone have any
more details on where the drain hole is?

Best regards

Bryan
