I have never put the bolt through the mast. I have had some big antennas
slip in high winds but nothing has broken.

Subject: [TowerTalk] yaesu rotator and aluminum mast
I have a new Yaesu rotator model G-2800DXA which I will put in my Rohn 25
tower
in a month or two. The rotator comes with a pin to put through the mast (by
drilling out a hole through the mast). I know that would work in steel
masts, but do you think the aluminum is too soft to use that requirement so
should I not or should I do it?
I am looking for anyone who actually had to make that same decision and
their consequences, if any.
