Replying to: Removing the end of the boom Hey all, I have an old boat with the outhaul threaded inside the boom. I need to replace the line, but to get to the end of it I need to take off the end of the boom that fits to the mast. I've drilled out the pop rivets (pic was taken before I did it), but the fitting is tight and corroded, and won't budge. Does anyone have any hints on how I can loosen the end up to remove it? TIA, Barry
