[TowerTalk] yaesu rotator and aluminum mast

[Steve K7AWB]

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.
