I have an Olson 34 with a Kenyon boom. The boom fits over an aluminum casting that forms the gooseneck. The casting plugs into the boom about 3” and is held in place with 4 evenly spaced s/s screws around the perimeter edge of the boom. Apparently there is enough play in this connection to cause the boom to rock back and forth until the screws pull through the aluminum.
Has anyone encountered this problem and found a way to fix it? I have been thinking of putting in some epoxy to minimize the rocking but don’t like the idea of making it permenant.
