On the 1989 34R, the maststep is a deep welded aluminum box with wooden spacer 
blocks in front and behind.  The box originally had one 1/2" drain hole but the 
wooden blocks always looked wet.  I added two 3/8" drain holes and also 
scallopped the bottoms of the wooden blocks so they left a path for water to 
find those holes.
