Dear Jeff & Web Gang:
I had the same problem with my 1983 P-15. I managed to extend the boom
sufficiently to solve the problem by purchasing an "outhaul cap" from Dwyer
Aluminum Mast Co. (Telephone number 203 484-0419. They have a web site with
their catalog, but I can't find the address right now. The outhaul cap really
dressed up my boom and I recall it costing me about $12.00, half of which was
freight.
