Broken Boom Slide Repair
The
Boom slides that come with the kit have a tendency to break.
You
have the option to replace them with "String rings" or repairing the
ring.
What I have done here is to show you one solution to the
repair.

| Cut a grove around the outside of the slide using an exacto knife | Take a 8" length of the Spectra line and wrap it 2 or 3 times around the slide inside the grove you cut. | Tighten the line and tie a square knot. Apply CA to the line and knot. Cut off the ends of the line. |
I have used this to repair a number of broken slides and have also used this technique to prepare slides on new boats to further strengthen them.
