Last year my Passagemaker mast step blew out --now finally its repaired. I installed new doublers and mast step (Thanks John C.) and sandwhiched new Okuome to the forward seat. Cosmetically it could be better but I think it passes the five feet away test. Original post with more pix are on "Lug Mast Step" 7-26-17 with my 2 cents on 9-2-17.
