[Rhodes22-list] Boom Question

[Mark Kaynor]

Wally,

I don't recall - the attachment points were different, more robust, IIRC. I
believe there's a third screw in there - I'll check it out next time I'm on
the boat, probably toward the end of next week. Right now we're on our
Tayana on the Chesapeake awaiting Charley....

Mark
