Fiting to connect kicker to boom.

[ferrispeterchris]

Can anyone help? A friend wants to fit a kicker to his Macwester 26. There is an attachment on the underside of the boom, what is the name of the part that slots into this to attach the kicker and where can I get one? TIA. Peter.

Should be "fitting" obviously, but cannot edit heading!

Boomslide? Try googling Allen Brothers.

fitting are normally called Tangs
my kicker is attached to the boom with a propriety track

Is the fitting like a sort of stainless cover plate with a keyhole-shaped slot in it?

First of all, what is the make of the boom, then see what they make as they will probably sell a specific tang for the track on the boom (if present) or if not will have one that can be rivited in place. Or try Macwester?

 

[sailorman]

where are Macwester based these days

It's not rocket science.
Either have the part made or buy a complete fitting new.

Simply click on the link Vic gave you and you will find the part you want listed there.

(Suspect that is why he kindly provided the link)
