I've heard the Slip-Nott works pretty well.  

I have an Orion 2800 and pinning the mast voids the warranty.  Not sure about 
the Yaesu though.  Also their mast 
clamps are cast aluminim I believe and not sure how they would hold up under 
the torque.

Champion Radio products makes a mast bracket replacement for the 2800 that 
should eliminate ANY slipping.  Maybe 
they do one for the Yaesu also?

GL!
