Although this is an old thread, I got a request to post some photos of how I installed a boomkicker on my F25. This was ten years ago, and the epoxy bond is holding strong!

I used a 7" dado blade at a 12 deg angle to produce the cove cut that matches the mast diameter. I used the Gougeon Brothers' suggestion of receiving the fasteners into the teak block with two nuts bedded in epoxy. I used Marine Tex epoxy for bonding the block to the mast, and later added some dark caulk to cover the "Elmer's Glue" appearance of the bond line.
