Last time I dropped the mast it cost about $600 for the round trip at our marina. I understand at some marinas there is a requirement to unstep the mast each year. I can imagine they charge $600 for that.

We take the Mast down every year. 

The Catalina Association  uS rental program has gauges.

The backs can be difficult
