Below are some early interior pictures I received 

when I was looking to buy my 68 Morgan 24.  

    

           

                     

 

 

This is a picture of my mast hinge arrangement.  The original aluminum mast shoe casting had been broken both on the front and the back.  In order to make the mast pivot, I added a Stainless bracket I purchased at Dyer Mast Co.  After cutting out the center and enlarging the rear pivot holes, I installed the mast shoe and the bracket together on the base of the mast.  Using a 7/16 pin thru the enlarged holes of the original mast step casting, I now had a working mast hinge. 

 

 

These are some pictures of the bulkhead that was broken while offshore as I participated in my second Morgan Invasion.   Pictures of the repair process and the finished result with the chainplate extension added to ensure it would not be a problem in the future.
