1) When you order a special order item it sets off a chain of events like Willie Wonka in the chocolate factory. Once you turn the valve the chocolate is coming down the pipe. If you then decide you want caramel, the chocolate is still going to come out of the pipe. We can't put the Chocolate back in the pipe, so someone is going to have to eat it, and it's not going to be us! Your order can't be canceled, returned, or magically changed into caramel, so please order carefully the first time!

2) A 50% nonrefundable deposit will be billed when your order for this item is accepted. The balance will be billed when the product ships.

3) Due to its size, a shipping charge of $22.95 for the boomkicker will be added to your invoice. This charge does not cover shipping for other items which may be on the same order which will be billed based on the standard shipping rate table.

4) Early Catalina 30's had a gooseneck that allowed the boom to rotate on a horizontal axis. With the advent of rigid boom_vangs, Catalina changed the design of the gooseneck. In order to reduce the load on the vang end fittings, the boom no longer rotates. The stainless stud is now fixed in the casting. To use a Boomkicker, the gooseneck must be fixed as it is in later boats.
