Hi, I lowered and stepped the mast for the first time to move the boat to another area, however, i cannot recall how the boom stays supported. Dumb I know. I took a picuture of it before we moved it. I think I am missing a part holds up the boom at the mast. Can any one help me as to how it it held up??
thanks

Phil,
There's a photo of mine here:

It's from the bottom of the boom. On the left side, you can see an aluminum casting that slides in the groove in the mast. I have a slug in the mast groove to keep it from falling to the deck. Cost is ~$5 at a marina supply shop.

Phil,
Mine looks a lot like that one. That should do the trick.
