During an inspection of my boat, I found that the fastener that holds the gooseneck at the tack end of the boom is loose, so the entire cap piece is sloppy. I tried to remove it, but found the allen head was stripped (this looks to be just a bolt throught the mast with an allen fastener on the other side).
I will drill out the ruined bolt, but looking on dr marine I can't find the appropriate replacement. Any suggestions? Or do I just go to the hardware store and get a stainless steel fastener that fits?
Thanks.
