Broke mine a few years back during a
race. I brought the pieces to a local machine shop so they could
use them as a guide. They built up a blob of new aluminum where
the tab broke off, and then machined it to shape and drilled the
hole in the right position. It has held for about 6 years now.
While I was waiting to find out of they could fix it, I also
contacted South Shore, who looked through some boxes and found a
brand new one that had still not even been cleaned or drilled
after being cast. I bought that as a spare for about $100. The
machine shop charged me $50, but I think that was a gift. I'm
thinking it should have been more like $200.

I went to the boat to check on things and while standing on
the frozen dock I sensed that something wasn't right but
nothing seemed out of the ordinary until it dawned on me that
the boom was laying on the top of the cabin; the outboard end
was hanging by the topping lift but the inboard end was laying
at the base of the mast! I looked at it and found that the
black metal part that goes in the goose neck was broken into
pieces and the broken part of the "ring" was still in the
goose neck with the bolt intact....I can only assume that it
somehow froze and snapped? We have had the same cold spell as
the rest of the country, (single digits, etc.); and some windy
nights, but I have no idea how a one inch wide and half inch
thick piece of metal just "broke"; nonetheless, can this be
repaired? welded? or should I look for a new one? The boom is
original to the boat; 1985 37 CB; any ideas? Thanks
