An unintended jibe broke mine. After talking to some welders, who said the cast
metal was hard to work with, I had a local guy fabricate one out of stainless
(all that about 15 years ago) - it still looks new.

I went to the boat to check on things and while standing on the frozen dock
I sensed that something wasn't right but nothing seemed out of the ordinary
until it dawned on me that the boom was laying on the top of the cabin; the
outboard end was hanging by the topping lift but the inboard end was laying at
the base of the mast! I looked at it and found that the black metal part that
goes in the goose neck was broken into pieces and the broken part of the "ring"
was still in the goose neck with the bolt intact....I can only assume that it
somehow froze and snapped? We have had the same cold spell as the rest of the
country, (single digits, etc.); and some windy nights, but I have no idea how a
one inch wide and half inch thick piece of metal just "broke"; nonetheless, can
this be repaired? welded? or should I look for a new one? The boom is original
to the boat; 1985 37 CB; any ideas? Thanks
