All this talk of loosened (presumably by heavy winds) rotator bolts has me thinking... would not the presence of a second thrust bearing (between the main thrust bearing and the rotator) practically

Mike, I'm not sure about the effectiveness of the second bearing. It would lessen any sideways forces on the rotator but it would not reduce any twisting forces that are transmitted from the mast to
