Booms & Extensions
Your boom and/or extension can be seriously damaged by impact with a solid object, extended exposure to
WARNING
sunlight or corrosion (aluminium booms and/or extensions). This damage may not always be visible to the naked eye. Never
place yourself in a situation where the breakage of your boom or extension would make it impossible to return to the shore
unaided & without assistance.
The following areas of your boom should be checked regularly for any signs of wear & tear:
- Mechanical front end parts: front end lever, clamp & screws
- Inhaul adjustment rope
- Back end adjustment levers
To give your booms and extensions a long life:
1. Take care to keep your booms and extensions out of the sun when not in use.
2. All sliding components must be free of sand & grit. Be sure to rinse out your boom and extension in fresh water to prevent
the build-up of dirt. This will also prolong the life of your aluminium extension which can be subject to corrosion over time.
3. Don't leave boom clips in the open position when not in use.
4. To reduce corrosion, remove extension from mast when not in use.
