Hi Bob,
I/ve been sucessful is taping them (1 1/2 turns)  together with duct tape and then sewing them together with a sail needle and whipping line. You may need a needle nose pliers to push the needle thru.

Hi Chris.

Thank you for the suggestion.  I'll do it.

However, I suspect butting the ends of the painter and the outhaul and taping them together is not a good way to connect the two.  Are there any tried and true methods for attaching them to each other?  Since I seem to make things worse before I make them better, I appreciate any suggestions based on your experience.

Thanks again,

Hey Bob -

 

Try running a "painter" line through the boom to determine the length of the line.  Basically it is a smaller line that you attach to the existing outhaul line, pull it through and measure the existing line, then replace the painter with the new line and pull it through the opposite way.

 

That is the way we do our halyards without climbing the mast.  Should work with the boom too.
