Mast Head Leak

[Shadowfax]

The mast head of my "88 E34. And I wonder why my mast leaks!!

This is the first time I've tried to attach a picture, so if it dosen't come through I'll try again

I went up there once, didn't like it. Attached a new VHF antenna. I am 185 lbs, so I leave that work to my 130 lb rigger. Hope you got the holes filled.

Yup, that's me, not my best side.

That is not me at the mast head. I’m more in the 240 weight class I sent one of my minions up to reconnoiter the mast head for the installation of a wind machine. A few years back I had a lighting strike that vaporized the masthead instruments. I suspect the two taped holes are the original anchor light and I guess when they ran the cables for the TV and VHF someone forgot to bring up the silicone caulk. I’ve had a lot of water come down the mast which I always ascribed to the sail track etc., etc. These holes at masthead are most likely 60% of it
