Typhoon - Boom Gooseneck connection questions

Post by Rick Gedney »

I have the original Spartan Spars mast and boom on my 81 Ty. I am rigging it up for the first time since the boat got painted I took ownership. The boom end is loose and slides in and out on a bolt. This never happened on my 76 Ty. I am guessing that the bolt that hods the Gooseneck casting is loose or missing a nut. Looks like it connects from the Gooseneck toggle through the casting into the boom.

What holds the Gooseneck assembly to the aluminum boom? Just those two ss screws? I need to take it apart and see what's up. Ant tips would be appreciated.

Rig-Rite lists the boom as CD-1 and has a whole gooseneck assembly which I am thinking of ordering.
