Some of the guys have used the following hardware to cure the mast slipping
issue.If I was going to install a 2800, I'd seriously consider this.

Charles,
I recently bought a spare G-2800DXA from Yaesu as a spare. In outward
appearance it looks the same as the SDX. The DXA manual is on the
Yaesu-Vertex site. The rotor package comes complete with 40M (~130') of
cable and connectors for each end. All the hardware is painted (or maybe
its powder coat). I do not recall any stainless.
I think the SDX was an older discontinued model. I am using a SDX with a
Mosley Pro67C3. Although not a long boom antenna it is very heavy and along
with a couple thrust bearings this rotor yawns when it turns. The only
weakness I had was it slipped at the mast clamp in a wind storm. So I went
back and added the infameous 5th bolt essentially pinning the rotor brackets
to the mast. No more slips...
