... what would cause the metal to break...
I expect the cast fitting was already damaged but just barely holding on. A little extra stress from the cold likely pushed it over the edge to failure. Calypso also has a fabricated SS goose neck that I watch closely and keep lubed.

After talking to some welders, who said the cast metal was hard to work with, I had a local guy fabricate one out of stainless (all that about 15 years ago) - it still looks new.

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 Richard 1985 C&C 37 CB; Ohio River Richard N.
