Just took delivery of a C&C 35 MK3
It came with the Garhauer looks a lot more robust than the Boomkicker.
Haven't had a chance to sail her yet. Can't wait for spring.

If all you want to do is get rid of the topping lift, you might consider just adding a Boomkicker, which only keeps the boom from falling down. Then you could keep your manual vang, would cost quite a bit less. I'm happy with that arrangement, though I always put my main halyard on the end of the boom once the main is down in case someone decides to swing on the boom or something like that.

Here's another post to get some experience-based advising. I am looking to purchase a rigid boom vang to replace the topping lift (damn thang) which is always in the way of everything. I will also replace the blocks/line I have as manual vang. Tangs are built-in on the boom and mast base. I don't want hydraulics, but wonder who can recommend which vang/size and other considerations (vendor, etc) based on your purchase/use of them.
There is Forespar, Garhauer, Boomkicker, etc. Some are less expensive but appear the same. Thoughts?
