Call South Shore Yachts in Niagara-on-the-Lake before fabricating. They may have one.

If it's on with machine screws, try one of these: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_36882_36882 It's what I use to remove things from masts. If it's riveted, drill out the rivet head then drive the rest into the mast with a punch. Once you've gotten the fitting off, take it to a local machine or welding shop. They should be able to repair or copy it. Or, like one lister has already said, call Guido at Garhauer. Dennis C.

It attaches to the mast via 4 screws on each side. One of the two metal loops that accepts the boom end broke off. I have only gotten one estimate so far based on the photo I sent to my usual boatyard, of $1100, to remove, fabricate and replace. I'm waiting to hear back from some rig shops. I haven't tried to remove the piece myself but am guessing I won't be able to with hand tools, and I'm worried about stripping the screw heads. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to repair/replace without spending so much? Is there a market out there for used pieces like this? Any help would be appreciated.
