Hadn't thought of bolts. Certainly unlikely to sheer them. Wouldn't want to dig too many big holes in the hog though. Perhaps worth mixing that idea with Paul's extra hardwood pad. That pad could be made longer than the mast step to create a bigger glue surface for the connection to the hog. The bolts can then be through that pad.
let me know what you do and how well it works.

Thanks Tim, I did wonder about setting some big fat stainless steel bolts into the hog bedded into epoxy and then some nuts on top.
I will keep pondering and more importantly let you know if any of them work. I think I will strip back the hog and epoxy the mast step in place as well as any fixings.
