There are a number of things that could cause the dishing around the mast step, some have been mentioned and there are none I can think of would be good. The surveyors role on a condition and value survey is to find areas of concern and make recommendations. If there is an obvious reason for a finding, then the surveyor may recommend a specific cure. If the cause of the finding requires further investigation to determine (as in this instance), then the surveyor may and should recommend a qualified specialist investigate. Surveyors are generalists, if they were doctors they would be General Practioners, they can tell when something is wrong but may refer the patient to a specialist for diagnosis and treatment.
