I'll second the question about attaching hardware to boom. My mainsheet block attachment point on the boom appears to have been moved forward. There are two sets of what I take to be prior attachment points aft of where it is now. I want to put it back to original location. The stainless strap that the block mounts to looks to be riveted on using aluminum rivets. Also I have multiple reef point hardware on the boom, curious to compare current mounting method to others' experiences. cheers, John S. On 10/21/2015 01:39 PM, Tyler Backman wrote:
I am planning to add an outhaul and second reef point hardware to my M15, and have some questions:
-What is the recommended way to mount hardware to the boom? I don't want to have stainless rivets fail from galvanic corrosion. I've thought about using plastic shoulder bushings and bolts, but that wouldn't let the hardware mount perfectly flush.
-Does anyone have hardware recommendations for the reef point and outhaul?
-Is an internal outhaul worthwhile?
