Designed for smaller daysailers, these Boomkickers are easy to install with no drilling or tapping required. All parts fit in the luff groove of the mast. For trailering, the design makes rigging and de-rigging a snap, simply remove the boom and fold the Boomkicker up against the mast for storage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The sling, because it does not attach directly to the boom, allows these models to work with the simplest of goosenecks. Even if the boom just slides onto a pin at the gooseneck, or can roll, the Boomkicker can not push the boom back or restrict it from rolling around its central axis to follow the sail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When installed, the Boomkicker is straight and the boom should be positioned above the usual sailing height. As the mainsheet or vang is tensioned, the Boomkicker flexes smoothly from straight to flexed. The force stays relatively constant as the Boomkicker continues to flex, which helps keep the vang efficient. Both the gooseneck eyestrap for the line and the mast fitting have standard a 3\/8\" diameter slide to fit in the luff groove and avoid drilling. 1\/2\" diameter is also available. The length of the line positions the sling along the boom and determines the initial boom height. The gooseneck eyestrap also serves as a stop if the gooseneck slides in the luff groove. Only one rod diameter is available for this model. In general only about 10lbs should be needed to pull the end of the boom down by hand. At their initial length, the rods provide as much as 6 feet of travel at the end of the boom depending on set up. If needed the spring rods can also be shortened within limits to fit above the vang with some loss of range.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Where both the K0312 and K0400 models have webbing slings, the mast end for the 312 is made of UHMW polyethylene, a stainless steel mast bracket and luff groove slides of teflon coated anodized aluminum. Sold since 1995, the design has proven simple and extremely durable.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"TabbedPanelsContent\"\u003e \u003ctable class=\"size_chart\" style=\"width: 780px;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr class=\"size_chart_title\"\u003e \u003ctd class=\"bold\" rowspan=\"2\" width=\"108\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Boomkicker \u003cbr\u003e Model \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd rowspan=\"2\" width=\"119\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Suggested \u003cbr\u003e Boat Size \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd rowspan=\"2\" width=\"108\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Initial \u003cbr\u003e Pin to Pin \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd rowspan=\"2\" width=\"108\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Minimum \u003cbr\u003e Pin to Pin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd rowspan=\"2\" width=\"127\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Maximum \u003cbr\u003e Force (1)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStroke\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr class=\"size_chart_title\"\u003e \u003ctd width=\"111\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Initial (2)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd width=\"97\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMin.

General:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Model K0312 Boomkicker is designed for sailboats under 17' (5m) who's boom, with sail, weighs under 16 lbs. (6.8kg). To the right is a sketch of the Model K0312. The Boomkicker comes fully assembled. Two fiberglass rods provide the force to support the boom. The boom sits in the sling between the rods. The sling is held by the line to the gooseneck stop and controls the initial height of the boom. The mast fitting and stop use slides in the luff groove to avoid drilling. As shown, the Boomkicker works by flexing upward and when straight, it is at the top of its travel. The Boomkicker does not restrict the boom from rising higher. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Installing Mast Bracket and Gooseneck Stop:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Boomkicker works best if the boom\/gooseneck is fixed in one spot on the mast. If the boom\/gooseneck can slide, then in the normal sailing position with the sail up, place a mark on the mast, indicating the lowest point of the gooseneck inside the luff groove. Then remove. Using the sail opening in the mast, slide the assembled base with bracket and slide to the vang bail, do not tighten. Next slide the top of the gooseneck stop to the mark and tighten. Reposition the boom against the gooseneck stop. If the boom\/gooseneck is fixed to the mast, the slides can be detached, slid past the gooseneck and reassembled in position. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Final Positioning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Using the main halyard, lift the aft end of the boom 6\"- 8\" (15cm - 20cm) above horizontal or the normal sailing level. Orient the Boomkicker so the two screw heads on the base are facing downward or aft, and the sling loop for the line is forward. If the Boomkicker fits in the area above the vang, hold the sling around the underside of the boom and adjust the mast fitting location to make an angle between 40° and 45° with the boom. The sling line should be loose and is adjusted later. If the angle is much lower than 40°, then as the spring rods flex, they lose ability to hold the boom. Tighten the bracket in position. If the Boomkicker is too long or the angle too low, it can be cut down. Shorten the bottom of the rods (loosen two small screws in base to pull the rods out) equal lengths of no more than 5\" (13cm). A fine tooth hacksaw works best and frayed ends can be avoided by prewrapping a layer of tape around the rod at the cut. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Final Adjustments: \u003c\/strong\u003e With the boom\/gooseneck held against the stop, adjust the line between the sling and gooseneck stop so the sling supports the boom. Since some initial stretch can be expected under load, slightly overtighten. Disconnect the halyard from the boom and press the boom down to flex the Boomkicker. It should flex freely upward and have enough support for the boom and mainsail without sagging. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePatents:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5070802, 6062155\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cscript type=\"text\/javascript\"\u003e\/\/ \u003c![CDATA[  var TabbedPanels1 = new Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels(\"TabbedPanels1\");  \/\/ ]]\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e \u003cp\u003e--\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boomkicker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53580554568052,"sku":"BK0312","price":208.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/4004\/9524\/files\/BK0312-2__57033.jpg.1428984928.jpg?v=1761555448"},{"product_id":"boomkicker-for-sailboats-16-to-19-k0400","title":"Boomkicker for sailboats 16 to 19' (K0400)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer part #:\u003c\/strong\u003e K0400 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBoomkicker model K0400\u003c\/strong\u003e works basically the same as the larger models by flexing as show below, but instead of attaching directly to the boom, a webbing sling, suspended between the two spring rods, supports the boom.

General:\u003c\/strong\u003e To the right is a sketch of the Model K0400. Two fiberglass rods provide the force to support the boom. The boom sits in the sling between the rods and is held by a line to the gooseneck stop installed directly under the boom gooseneck. The length of the line controls teh initial height of the boom. To check the K0400 is the correct model, the minimum length is 26\"(66cm) end pin to sling and the maximum weight it can support is approximately 14 lbs(6.3kgs) at the outboard end of the boom with the mainsail flaked. As shown the Boomkicker works by flexing and when straight, it is at the top of its travel. Note that the Boomkicker does not restrict the boom from rising higher.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Installing Mast Bracket and Gooseneck Stop:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Boomkicker works best if the boom gooseneck is fixed in one spot on the mast. If the boom gooseneck can slide, then in the normal sailing position with the sail up, place a mark on the mast, indicating the lowest point of the gooseneck (Including any portion inside the luff groove). Then remove. Using the sail opening in the mast, first slide the mast bracket down to the vang bail, do not tighten. Next slide the top of the gooseneck stop to the mark and tighten. Reinsert the boom so against the gooseneck stop. If the boom gooseneck is fixed to the mast, the slides can be detached, slid past the gooseneck and reassembled. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Final Positioning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Using the main halyard, lift the aft end of the boom 6\"- 8\" (15cm - 20cm) above horizontal or normal sailing level . If the Boomkicker fits in the area above the vang, hold the sling around the under side of the boom and adjust the mast fitting location to make an angel between 40° and 45° with the boom. The sling line should be loose and is adjusted later. If the angle is much lower than 40°, then as the spring rods flex, they lose ability to hold the boom. Tighten the bracket in position and reattach the Boomkicker with clamp screws on top and the sling loop for the line, forward. If the Boomkicker is too long to fit in the area above the vang, or the angle is low, the spring rods can be cut down. Shorten the bottom of both rods (Use the provided hex-key to loosen rod clamp.) equal lengths of no more than 8\" (20cm). A fine tooth hacksaw works best. Before tightening the rod clamp, make sure the rods are against the stops on the lower plate and Boomkicker labels are out. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Final Adjustments:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adjust the line between the sling and the gooseneck stop so the sling supports the boom. Since some initial stretch can be expected under load, slightly over tighten. Disconnect the halyard from the boom and press the boom down to flex the Boomkicker and test the force. Rods should flex freely upward and support the boom and mainsail without the boom sagging. Too much force will cause the boom to bow upwards. If less force is needed, optional smaller diameter rods are available either as exchange, ordered on the web or by phone.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boomkicker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53580554600820,"sku":"BK0400","price":270.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/4004\/9524\/files\/BK0400-2__29638.jpg.1428984928.jpg?v=1761555449"},{"product_id":"boomkicker-for-sailboats-16-to-20-k0500","title":"Boomkicker for sailboats 16 to 20' (K0500)","description":"\u003c!--\u003cdiv class=\"productDescription-productdescription\"\u003e\u003cscript src=\"\/v\/vspfiles\/SpryAssets\/SpryTabbedPanels.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e\u003clink href=\"\/v\/vspfiles\/SpryAssets\/Descpns.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"TabbedPanels1\" class=\"TabbedPanels\"\u003e\u003cul class=\"TabbedPanelsTabGroup\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"TabbedPanelsTab\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli class=\"TabbedPanelsTab\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli class=\"TabbedPanelsTab\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eBoomkicker K0500 Installation Instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"TabbedPanelsContentGroup\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"TabbedPanelsContent\"\u003e\u003c!--INICIO TABLA 1 --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer part #:\u003c\/strong\u003e K0500 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Boomkickers use two coated solid fiberglass spring rods to provide the force necessary to support the boom and mainsail. The rods are clamped into teflon anodized aluminum end pieces and attached to universal mast and boom fittings. Fittings are included along with machine screw fasteners, the proper drill and tap and hex wrench. The mast fitting includes a round slide which, used in the luff groove, avoids drilling into the mast. Flat slides in varying widths are available from the factory. The slides can often be inserted at the sail opening above the gooseneck and slid down reassembling the fitting in position. If slides are not usable, the fitting can be attached directly to the mast using the same drill and tap provided for the boom. The custom extruded boom track is contoured to fit both round and flat bottom booms. The track has an adjustable clevis pin to set the maximum height the Boomkicker will lift the boom. The track length forward of the pin allows the boom to move higher if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"TabbedPanelsContent\"\u003e\n\u003c!--INICIO TABLA 2 --\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ctable class=\"size_chart\" style=\"width: 780px;\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr class=\"size_chart_title\"\u003e \u003ctd class=\"bold\" rowspan=\"2\" width=\"108\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Boomkicker \u003cbr\u003e Model \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd rowspan=\"2\" width=\"119\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Suggested \u003cbr\u003e Boat Size \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd rowspan=\"2\" width=\"108\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Initial \u003cbr\u003e Pin to Pin \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd rowspan=\"2\" width=\"108\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Minimum \u003cbr\u003e Pin to Pin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd rowspan=\"2\" width=\"127\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Maximum \u003cbr\u003e Force (1)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStroke\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr class=\"size_chart_title\"\u003e \u003ctd width=\"111\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Initial (2)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd width=\"97\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMin.

Setup Boom Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sliding goosenecks should be positioned for sailing. Securing a stop under the gooseneck relocates the position for rigging. Use the main halyard to support the boom above its highest operating position, or a desired height when moored or docked. At this time, check that the Model K0500 is correct. The min. length is 26\" (66cm) pin to pin and the max. weight it can support is approximately 14 lbs. (6.3kg) measured at the outboard end of the boom with the main sail flaked. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Position Boomkicker:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Boomkicker works by flexing upward and when straight, it is at the top of its travel. Install the Boomkicker with the screw head side of rod clamps facing up to flex upward away from the vang. With the boom height set, position the Boomkicker with fittings alongside the vang triangle to see how it fits. Position is not critical so long as it does not interfere with the vang. It's recommended that both the vang and the Boomkicker make an angle of between 30o and 45o with the boom. Mark the location for the mast fitting. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Install Mast Fitting:\u003c\/strong\u003e The mast fitting comes with a luff grove slide to avoid drilling the mast. Different diameters and flat slides are available by exchange, or at the web site or by phone. See part list. If usable, after disassembly from the fitting, the slide can often be inserted at the mast opening for the sail and dropped or lowered with a string. If the mast is out of the boat, the slide may be inserted from the base of the mast. Reassemble the mast fitting at the desired location and tighten the screws. If the slide is unusable, the bracket may be screwed directly to the mast. Extra long screws are included if needed to pass through the groove. Use the #25 drill and the 10-24 tap provided, with the mast fitting bracket as a guide. A variable speed, reversible drill makes tapping easy. Go slow. Locktite is recommended on threads. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Shorten if Necessary:\u003c\/strong\u003e If the Boomkicker is too long, we recommend shortening the rods at the mast end so any cut ends are less visible. Loosen the rod clamp with the provided hex-key and slide the extension up the rods until there is a good fit. The bottom half of the clamp fittings for each extension have embossed stops to prevent slipping. Do not shorten total length more than 10\" (25cm). Cut off extra rod length equally from both rods with a fine tooth hacksaw. Before tightening the clamps, check the rod ends are against the embossed stops and the clamps\/extensions are not twisted relative to each other. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5. Install Boom Fitting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Make sure the rod clamps at both ends are tight. Then attach the Boomkicker to the mast fitting, and the slide and track at the boom end. The angle on the track goes forward, the stop in aft. There are 3 standard choices for the stop with the initial position in the middle for later adjustment if needed. If necessary more stop positions can be drilled using the inscribed line along the side of the track for the 3\/16\" diameter pin. With the Boomkicker in position and slid back against the stop pin, and with the track centered under the boom, mark one hole. Then center punch, drill and tap. Attach the track, recheck position, then drill and tap the remaining holes using the track as a guide. Use Locktite on threads. Hint: Once installed, to attach the Boomkicker, it's usually easier to slide the Boomkicker into the boom track first, then attach it to the mast fitting, rather then attaching to the mast first. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6. Check Return Force:\u003c\/strong\u003e After installation, check return force by pushing down on the end of the boom. The amount of support desired is a personal preference. For reference, with the sail flaked, using about 10 to 12 lbs.(4.5 to 5.4 kgs) to pull the aft end of the boom down seems like a good balance between boom support versus tension required to pull on the vang. More support may be desired with a bimini or if crew use the boom for support with the sail down. Less support may be desired if the mainsail is not stored on the boom or the Boomkicker is used to just lift the boom in light air for sail shape. If less or more force is needed, optional spring rods are available either as exchange, or ordered on the web or by phone. The purpose of the Boomkicker is to support the boom so the boom topping lift can be eliminated along with the chafe, windage, hangups and adjustments. If needed in unique circumstances, such as motoring in waves with the mainsail down, the main halyard can be attached to the aft end of the boom and tightened for further support.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cscript type=\"text\/javascript\"\u003e\/\/ \u003c![CDATA[ var TabbedPanels1 = new Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels(\"TabbedPanels1\"); \/\/ ]]\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e \u003cp\u003e--\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boomkicker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53580554633588,"sku":"BK0500","price":279.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/4004\/9524\/files\/BK0500-2__61451.jpg.1428984928.jpg?v=1761555450"},{"product_id":"boomkicker-for-sailboats-20-to-25-k0750","title":"Boomkicker for sailboats 20 to 25' (K0750)","description":"\u003c!--\u003cdiv class=\"productDescription-productdescription\"\u003e\u003cscript src=\"\/v\/vspfiles\/SpryAssets\/SpryTabbedPanels.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e\u003clink href=\"\/v\/vspfiles\/SpryAssets\/Descpns.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"TabbedPanels1\" class=\"TabbedPanels\"\u003e\u003cul class=\"TabbedPanelsTabGroup\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"TabbedPanelsTab\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli class=\"TabbedPanelsTab\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli class=\"TabbedPanelsTab\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eBoomkicker K0750 Installation Instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"TabbedPanelsContentGroup\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"TabbedPanelsContent\"\u003e\u003c!--INICIO TABLA 1 --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer part #:\u003c\/strong\u003e K0750 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoomkickers\u003c\/strong\u003e use two coated solid fiberglass spring rods to provide the force necessary to support the boom and mainsail.

The mast fitting includes a round slide which, used in the luff groove, avoids drilling into the mast. Flat slides in varying widths are available from the factory. The slides can often be inserted at the sail opening above the gooseneck and slid down reassembling the fitting in position. If slides are not usable, the fitting can be attached directly to the mast using the same drill and tap provided for the boom. The custom extruded boom track is contoured to fit both round and flat bottom booms. The track has an adjustable clevis pin to set the maximum height the Boomkicker will lift the boom.

It's recommended that both the vang and the Boomkicker make an angle of between 30o and 45o with the boom. Mark the location for the mast fitting. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Install Mast Fitting:\u003c\/strong\u003e The mast fitting comes with a luff grove slide to avoid drilling the mast. Different diameters and flat slides are available by exchange, or at the web site or by phone. See part list. If usable, after disassembly from the fitting, the slide can often be inserted at the mast opening for the sail and dropped or lowered with a string. If the mast is out of the boat, the slide may be inserted from the base of the mast. Reassemble the mast fitting at the desired location and tighten the screws. If the slide is unusable, the bracket may be screwed directly to the mast. Extra long screws are included if needed to pass through the groove. Use the #25 drill and the 10-24 tap provided, with the mast fitting bracket as a guide. A variable speed, reversible drill makes tapping easy. Go slow. Locktite is recommended on threads. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Shorten if Necessary:\u003c\/strong\u003e If the Boomkicker is too long, we recommend shortening the rods at the mast end so any cut ends are less visible. Loosen the rod clamp with the provided hex-key and slide the extension up the rods until there is a good fit. The bottom half of the clamp fittings for each extension have embossed stops to prevent slipping. Do not shorten total length more than 5\" (13cm). Cut off extra rod length equally from both rods with a fine tooth hacksaw. Before tightening the clamps, check the rod ends are against the embossed stops and the clamps\/extensions are not twisted relative to each other. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5. Install Boom Fitting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Make sure the rod clamps at both ends are tight. Then attach the Boomkicker to the mast fitting, and the slide and track at the boom end. The angle on the track goes forward, the stop in aft. There are 3 standard choices for the stop with the initial position in the middle for later adjustment if needed. If necessary more stop positions can be drilled using the inscribed line along the side of the track for the 3\/16\" diameter pin. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With the Boomkicker in position and slid back against the stop pin, and with the track centered under the boom, mark one hole. Then center punch, drill and tap. Attach the track, recheck position, then drill and tap the remaining holes using the track as a guide. Use Locktite on threads. Hint: Once installed, to attach the Boomkicker, it's usually easier to slide the Boomkicker into the boom track first, then attach it to the mast fitting, rather then attaching to the mast first. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6. Check Return Force:\u003c\/strong\u003e After installation, check return force by pushing down on the end of the boom. The amount of support desired is a personal preference. For reference, with the sail flaked, using about 10 to 12 lbs.(4.5 to 5.4 kgs) to pull the aft end of the boom down seems like a good balance between boom support versus tension required to pull on the vang. More support may be desired with a bimini or if crew use the boom for support with the sail down. Less support may be desired if the mainsail is not stored on the boom or the Boomkicker is used to just lift the boom in light air for sail shape. If less or more force is needed, optional spring rods are available either as exchange, or ordered on the web or by phone. The purpose of the Boomkicker is to support the boom so the boom topping lift can be eliminated along with the chafe, windage, hangups and adjustments. If needed in unique circumstances, such as motoring in waves with the mainsail down, the main halyard can be attached to the aft end of the boom and tightened for further support.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cscript type=\"text\/javascript\"\u003e\/\/ \u003c![CDATA[ var TabbedPanels1 = new Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels(\"TabbedPanels1\"); \/\/ ]]\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e \u003cp\u003e--\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boomkicker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53580554895732,"sku":"BK0750","price":321.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/4004\/9524\/files\/BK0750-2__75595.jpg.1428984928.jpg?v=1761555452"},{"product_id":"boomkicker-for-sailboats-25-to-27-k0800","title":"Boomkicker for sailboats 25 to 27' (K0800)","description":"\u003c!--\u003cdiv class=\"productDescription-productdescription\"\u003e\u003cscript src=\"\/v\/vspfiles\/SpryAssets\/SpryTabbedPanels.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e\u003clink href=\"\/v\/vspfiles\/SpryAssets\/Descpns.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"TabbedPanels1\" class=\"TabbedPanels\"\u003e\u003cul class=\"TabbedPanelsTabGroup\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"TabbedPanelsTab\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli class=\"TabbedPanelsTab\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli class=\"TabbedPanelsTab\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eBoomkicker K0800 Installation Instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"TabbedPanelsContentGroup\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"TabbedPanelsContent\"\u003e\u003c!--INICIO TABLA 1 --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer part #:\u003c\/strong\u003e K0800 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoomkickers\u003c\/strong\u003e use two coated solid fiberglass spring rods to provide the force necessary to support the boom and mainsail.

Setup Boom Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use the main halyard to support the boom above its highest operating position, or a desired height when moored or docked. At this time, check that the Model K1000 is correct. The min. length is 40\" (102cm) pin to pin and the max. weight it can support is approximately 34 lbs. (15kg) measured at the outboard end of the boom with the main sail flaked as stored. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Position Boomkicker:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Boomkicker works by flexing upward and when straight, it is at the top of its travel. Install the Boomkicker with the screw head side of rod clamps facing up to flex upward away from the vang. With the boom height set, position the Boomkicker with fittings alongside the vang triangle to see how it fits. Position is not critical so long as it does not interfere with the vang. It's recommended that both the vang and the Boomkicker make an angle of between 30o and 45o with the boom. Mark the location for the mast fitting. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Install Mast Fitting:\u003c\/strong\u003e The mast fitting comes with a luff grove slide to avoid drilling the mast. Different diameters and flat slides are available by exchange, or at the web site or by phone. See part list. If usable, after disassembly from the fitting, the slide can often be inserted at the mast opening for the sail and dropped or lowered with a string. If the mast is out of the boat, the slide may be inserted from the base of the mast. Reassemble the mast fitting at the desired location and tighten the screws. If the slide is unusable, the bracket may be screwed directly to the mast. Extra long screws are included if needed to pass through the groove. Use the #7 drill and the 1\/4-20 tap provided, with the mast fitting bracket as a guide. A variable speed, reversible drill makes tapping easy. Go slow. Locktite is recommended on threads. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Shorten if Necessary:\u003c\/strong\u003e If the Boomkicker is too long, we recommend shortening the rods at the mast end so any cut ends are less visible. Loosen the rod clamp with the provided hex-key and slide the extension up the rods until there is a good fit. The bottom half of the clamp fittings for each extension have embossed stops to prevent slipping. Do not shorten total length more than 5\" (12.5cm). Cut off extra rod length equally from both rods with a fine tooth hacksaw. Before tightening the clamps, check the rod ends are against the embossed stops and the clamps\/extensions are not twisted relative to each other. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5. Install Boom Fitting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Make sure the rod clamps at both ends are tight. Then attach the Boomkicker to the mast fitting, and the slide and track at the boom end. The angle on the track goes forward, the stop in aft. There are 3 standard choices for the stop with the initial position in the middle for later adjustment if needed. If necessary more stop positions can be drilled using the inscribed line along the side of the track for the 3\/16\" diameter pin. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the Boomkicker in position and slid back against the stop pin, and with the track centered under the boom, mark one hole. Then center punch, drill and tap. Attach the track, recheck position, then drill and tap the remaining holes using the track as a guide. Use Locktite on threads. Hint: Once installed, to attach the Boomkicker, it's usually easier to slide the Boomkicker into the boom track first, then attach it to the mast fitting, rather then attaching to the mast first. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6. Check Return Force:\u003c\/strong\u003e After installation, check return force by pushing down on the end of the boom. The amount of support desired is a personal preference. For reference, with the sail flaked, using about 10 to 12 lbs.(4.5 to 5.4 kgs) to pull the aft end of the boom down seems like a good balance between boom support versus tension required to pull on the vang. More support may be desired with a bimini or if crew use the boom for support with the sail down. Less support may be desired if the mainsail is not stored on the boom or the Boomkicker is used to just lift the boom in light air for sail shape. If less or more force is needed, optional spring rods are available either as exchange, or ordered on the web or by phone. The purpose of the Boomkicker is to support the boom so the boom topping lift can be eliminated along with the chafe, windage, hangups and adjustments. If needed in unique circumstances, such as motoring in waves with the mainsail down, the main halyard can be attached to the aft end of the boom and tightened for further support.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Boomkicker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53580554961268,"sku":"BK1000","price":338.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/4004\/9524\/files\/BK1000-2__46916.jpg.1428984928.jpg?v=1761555454"},{"product_id":"boomkicker-for-sailboats-30-to-34-k01250","title":"Boomkicker for sailboats 30 to 34' (K01250)","description":"\u003c!--\u003cdiv class=\"productDescription-productdescription\"\u003e\u003cscript src=\"\/v\/vspfiles\/SpryAssets\/SpryTabbedPanels.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e\u003clink href=\"\/v\/vspfiles\/SpryAssets\/Descpns.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"TabbedPanels1\" class=\"TabbedPanels\"\u003e\u003cul class=\"TabbedPanelsTabGroup\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"TabbedPanelsTab\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli class=\"TabbedPanelsTab\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli class=\"TabbedPanelsTab\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eBoomkicker K1250 Installation Instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"TabbedPanelsContentGroup\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"TabbedPanelsContent\"\u003e\u003c!--INICIO TABLA 1 --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer part #:\u003c\/strong\u003e K1250 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoomkickers\u003c\/strong\u003e use two coated solid fiberglass spring rods to provide the force necessary to support the boom and mainsail.

Setup Boom Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use the main halyard to support the boom above its highest operating position, or a desired height when moored or docked. At this time, check that the Model K1250 is correct. The min. length is 43\" (109cm) pin to pin and the max. weight it can support is approximately 42 lbs. (19kg) measured at the outboard end of the boom with the main sail flaked as stored. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Position Boomkicker:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Boomkicker works by flexing upward and when straight, it is at the top of its travel. Install the Boomkicker with the screw head side of rod clamps facing up to flex upward away from the vang. With the boom height set, position the Boomkicker with fittings alongside the vang triangle to see how it fits. Position is not critical so long as it does not interfere with the vang. It's recommended that both the vang and the Boomkicker make an angle of between 30o and 45o with the boom. Mark the location for the mast fitting. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg title=\"Boomkicker Complete Kits\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn10.bigcommerce.com\/s-7hppvd\/product_images\/uploaded_images\/Tech_Info\/Boomkicker\/Boomkicker-Track-Fit-2.jpg\" alt=\"Boomkicker K1250 installation\" align=\"right\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Install Mast Fitting:\u003c\/strong\u003e The mast fitting comes with a luff grove slide to avoid drilling the mast. Different diameters and flat slides are available by exchange, or at the web site or by phone. See part list. If usable, after disassembly from the fitting, the slide can often be inserted at the mast opening for the sail and dropped or lowered with a string. If the mast is out of the boat, the slide may be inserted from the base of the mast. Reassemble the mast fitting at the desired location and tighten the screws. If the slide is unusable, the bracket may be screwed directly to the mast. Extra long screws are included if needed to pass through the groove. Use the 1\/4\" drill and the 5\/16-18 tap provided, with the mast fitting bracket as a guide. A variable speed, reversible drill makes tapping easy. Go slow. Locktite is recommended on threads. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg title=\"Boomkicker Complete Kits\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn10.bigcommerce.com\/s-7hppvd\/product_images\/uploaded_images\/Tech_Info\/Boomkicker\/Boomkicker-MastFit.jpg\" alt=\"Boomkicker K1250 installation\" align=\"right\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Shorten if Necessary:\u003c\/strong\u003e If the Boomkicker is too long, we recommend shortening the rods at the mast end so any cut ends are less visible. Loosen the rod clamp with the provided hex-key and slide the extension up the rods until there is a good fit. The bottom half of the clamp fittings for each extension have embossed stops to prevent slipping. Do not shorten total length more than 10\" (25cm). Cut off extra rod length equally from both rods with a fine tooth hacksaw. Before tightening the clamps, check the rod ends are against the embossed stops and the clamps\/extensions are not twisted relative to each other. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5. Install Boom Fitting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Make sure the rod clamps at both ends are tight. Then attach the Boomkicker to the mast fitting, and the slide and track at the boom end. The angle on the track goes forward, the stop in aft. There are 3 standard choices for the stop with the initial position in the middle for later adjustment if needed. If necessary more stop positions can be drilled using the inscribed line along the side of the track for the 3\/16\" diameter pin. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg title=\"Boomkicker Complete Kits\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn10.bigcommerce.com\/s-7hppvd\/product_images\/uploaded_images\/Tech_Info\/Boomkicker\/Boomkicker-Track-Fit-3.jpg\" alt=\"Boomkicker K1250 installation\" align=\"right\"\u003e With the Boomkicker in position and slid back against the stop pin, and with the track centered under the boom, mark one hole. Then center punch, drill and tap. Attach the track, recheck position, then drill and tap the remaining holes using the track as a guide. Use Locktite on threads. Hint: Once installed, to attach the Boomkicker, it's usually easier to slide the Boomkicker into the boom track first, then attach it to the mast fitting, rather then attaching to the mast first. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6. Check Return Force:\u003c\/strong\u003e After installation, check return force by pushing down on the end of the boom. The amount of support desired is a personal preference. For reference, with the sail flaked, using about 10 to 12 lbs.(4.5 to 5.4 kgs) to pull the aft end of the boom down seems like a good balance between boom support versus tension required to pull on the vang. More support may be desired with a bimini or if crew use the boom for support with the sail down. Less support may be desired if the mainsail is not stored on the boom or the Boomkicker is used to just lift the boom in light air for sail shape. If less or more force is needed, optional spring rods are available either as exchange, or ordered on the web or by phone. The purpose of the Boomkicker is to support the boom so the boom topping lift can be eliminated along with the chafe, windage, hangups and adjustments. If needed in unique circumstances, such as motoring in waves with the mainsail down, the main halyard can be attached to the aft end of the boom and tightened for further support.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cscript type=\"text\/javascript\"\u003e\/\/ \u003c![CDATA[ var TabbedPanels1 = new Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels(\"TabbedPanels1\"); \/\/ ]]\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e \u003cp\u003e--\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boomkicker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53636919034228,"sku":"BK1250","price":432.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/4004\/9524\/files\/BK1250-2__70779.1428987077.jpg?v=1762161086"},{"product_id":"boomkicker-for-sailboats-34-to-38-k01500","title":"Boomkicker for sailboats 34 to 38' (K01500)","description":"\u003c!--\u003cdiv class=\"productDescription-productdescription\"\u003e\u003cscript src=\"\/v\/vspfiles\/SpryAssets\/SpryTabbedPanels.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e\u003clink href=\"\/v\/vspfiles\/SpryAssets\/Descpns.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"TabbedPanels1\" class=\"TabbedPanels\"\u003e\u003cul class=\"TabbedPanelsTabGroup\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"TabbedPanelsTab\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli class=\"TabbedPanelsTab\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli class=\"TabbedPanelsTab\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eBoomkicker K1500 Installation Instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"TabbedPanelsContentGroup\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"TabbedPanelsContent\"\u003e\u003c!--INICIO TABLA 1 --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer part #:\u003c\/strong\u003e K1500 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoomkickers\u003c\/strong\u003e use two coated solid fiberglass spring rods to provide the force necessary to support the boom and mainsail.

Setup Boom Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use the main halyard to support the boom above its highest operating position, or a desired height when moored or docked. At this time, check that the Model K1500 is correct. The min. length is 48\" (122cm) pin to pin and the max. weight it can support is approximately 50 lbs. (23kg) measured at the outboard end of the boom with the main sail flaked as stored. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Position Boomkicker:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Boomkicker works by flexing upward and when straight, it is at the top of its travel. Install the Boomkicker with the screw head side of rod clamps facing up to flex upward away from the vang. With the boom height set, position the Boomkicker with fittings alongside the vang triangle to see how it fits. Position is not critical so long as it does not interfere with the vang. It's recommended that both the vang and the Boomkicker make an angle of between 30o and 45o with the boom. Mark the location for the mast fitting. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg title=\"Boomkicker Complete Kits\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-7hppvd\/product_images\/uploaded_images\/Tech_Info\/Boomkicker\/Boomkicker-Track-Fit-2.jpg\" alt=\"Boomkicker 1500 installation\" align=\"right\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Install Mast Fitting:\u003c\/strong\u003e The mast fitting comes with a luff grove slide to avoid drilling the mast. Different diameters and flat slides are available by exchange, or at the web site or by phone. See part list. If usable, after disassembly from the fitting, the slide can often be inserted at the mast opening for the sail and dropped or lowered with a string. If the mast is out of the boat, the slide may be inserted from the base of the mast. Reassemble the mast fitting at the desired location and tighten the screws. If the slide is unusable, the bracket may be screwed directly to the mast. Extra long screws are included if needed to pass through the groove. Use the 1\/4\" drill and the 5\/16-18 tap provided, with the mast fitting bracket as a guide. A variable speed, reversible drill makes tapping easy. Go slow. Locktite is recommended on threads. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg title=\"Boomkicker Complete Kits\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-7hppvd\/product_images\/uploaded_images\/Tech_Info\/Boomkicker\/Boomkicker-MastFit.jpg\" alt=\"Boomkicker 1500 installation\" align=\"right\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Shorten if Necessary:\u003c\/strong\u003e If the Boomkicker is too long, we recommend shortening the rods at the mast end so any cut ends are less visible. Loosen the rod clamp with the provided hex-key and slide the extension up the rods until there is a good fit. The bottom half of the clamp fittings for each extension have embossed stops to prevent slipping. Do not shorten total length more than 5\" (12.5cm). Cut off extra rod length equally from both rods with a fine tooth hacksaw. Before tightening the clamps, check the rod ends are against the embossed stops and the clamps\/extensions are not twisted relative to each other. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5. Install Boom Fitting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Make sure the rod clamps at both ends are tight. Then attach the Boomkicker to the mast fitting, and the slide and track at the boom end. The angle on the track goes forward, the stop in aft. There are 3 standard choices for the stop with the initial position in the middle for later adjustment if needed.\u003cimg title=\"Boomkicker Complete Kits\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-7hppvd\/product_images\/uploaded_images\/Tech_Info\/Boomkicker\/Boomkicker-Track-Fit-3.jpg\" alt=\"Boomkicker 1500 installation\" align=\"right\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If necessary more stop positions can be drilled using the inscribed line along the side of the track for the 3\/16\" diameter pin. With the Boomkicker in position and slid back against the stop pin, and with the track centered under the boom, mark one hole. Then center punch, drill and tap. Attach the track, recheck position, then drill and tap the remaining holes using the track as a guide. Use Locktite on threads. Hint: Once installed, to attach the Boomkicker, it's usually easier to slide the Boomkicker into the boom track first, then attach it to the mast fitting, rather then attaching to the mast first. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6. Check Return Force:\u003c\/strong\u003e After installation, check return force by pushing down on the end of the boom. The amount of support desired is a personal preference. For reference, with the sail flaked, using about 10 to 12 lbs.(4.5 to 5.4 kgs) to pull the aft end of the boom down seems like a good balance between boom support versus tension required to pull on the vang. More support may be desired with a bimini or if crew use the boom for support with the sail down. Less support may be desired if the mainsail is not stored on the boom or the Boomkicker is used to just lift the boom in light air for sail shape. If less or more force is needed, optional spring rods are available either as exchange, or ordered on the web or by phone. The purpose of the Boomkicker is to support the boom so the boom topping lift can be eliminated along with the chafe, windage, hangups and adjustments. If needed in unique circumstances, such as motoring in waves with the mainsail down, the main halyard can be attached to the aft end of the boom and tightened for further support.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cscript type=\"text\/javascript\"\u003e\/\/ \u003c![CDATA[ var TabbedPanels1 = new Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels(\"TabbedPanels1\"); \/\/ ]]\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e \u003cp\u003e--\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boomkicker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53636918935924,"sku":"BK1500","price":447.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/4004\/9524\/files\/BK1500-2__16372.1428987079.jpg?v=1762161095"},{"product_id":"boomkicker-for-sailboats-38-to-42-k02000","title":"Boomkicker for sailboats 38 to 42' (K02000)","description":"\u003c!--\u003cdiv class=\"productDescription-productdescription\"\u003e\u003cscript src=\"\/v\/vspfiles\/SpryAssets\/SpryTabbedPanels.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e\u003clink href=\"\/v\/vspfiles\/SpryAssets\/Descpns.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"TabbedPanels1\" class=\"TabbedPanels\"\u003e\u003cul class=\"TabbedPanelsTabGroup\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"TabbedPanelsTab\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli class=\"TabbedPanelsTab\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli class=\"TabbedPanelsTab\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eBoomkicker K2000 Installation Instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"TabbedPanelsContentGroup\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"TabbedPanelsContent\"\u003e\u003c!--INICIO TABLA 1 --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer part #:\u003c\/strong\u003e K2000 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoomkickers\u003c\/strong\u003e use two coated solid fiberglass spring rods to provide the force necessary to support the boom and mainsail.

Setup Boom Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use the main halyard to support the boom above its highest operating position, or a desired height when moored or docked. At this time, check that the Model K2000 is correct. The min. length is 48\" (122cm) pin to pin and the max. weight it can support is approximately 50 lbs. (23kg) measured at the outboard end of the boom with the main sail flaked as stored. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Position Boomkicker:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Boomkicker works by flexing upward and when straight, it is at the top of its travel. Install the Boomkicker with the screw head side of rod clamps facing up to flex upward away from the vang. With the boom height set, position the Boomkicker with fittings alongside the vang triangle to see how it fits. Position is not critical so long as it does not interfere with the vang. It's recommended that both the vang and the Boomkicker make an angle of between 30o and 45o with the boom. Mark the location for the mast fitting. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg title=\"Boomkicker Complete Kits\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-7hppvd\/product_images\/uploaded_images\/Tech_Info\/Boomkicker\/Boomkicker-Track-Fit-2.jpg\" alt=\"Boomkicker 2000 installation\" align=\"right\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Install Mast Fitting:\u003c\/strong\u003e The mast fitting comes with a luff grove slide to avoid drilling the mast. Different diameters and flat slides are available by exchange, or at the web site or by phone. See part list. If usable, after disassembly from the fitting, the slide can often be inserted at the mast opening for the sail and dropped or lowered with a string. If the mast is out of the boat, the slide may be inserted from the base of the mast. Reassemble the mast fitting at the desired location and tighten the screws. If the slide is unusable, the bracket may be screwed directly to the mast. Extra long screws are included if needed to pass through the groove. Use the 1\/4\" drill and the 5\/16-18 tap provided, with the mast fitting bracket as a guide. A variable speed, reversible drill makes tapping easy. Go slow. Locktite is recommended on threads. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg title=\"Boomkicker Complete Kits\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-7hppvd\/product_images\/uploaded_images\/Tech_Info\/Boomkicker\/Boomkicker-MastFit.jpg\" alt=\"Boomkicker 2000 installation\" align=\"right\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Shorten if Necessary:\u003c\/strong\u003e If the Boomkicker is too long, we recommend shortening the rods at the mast end so any cut ends are less visible. Loosen the rod clamp with the provided hex-key and slide the extension up the rods until there is a good fit. The bottom half of the clamp fittings for each extension have embossed stops to prevent slipping. Do not shorten total length more than 5\" (12.5cm). Cut off extra rod length equally from both rods with a fine tooth hacksaw. Before tightening the clamps, check the rod ends are against the embossed stops and the clamps\/extensions are not twisted relative to each other. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5. Install Boom Fitting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Make sure the rod clamps at both ends are tight. Then attach the Boomkicker to the mast fitting, and the slide and track at the boom end. The angle on the track goes forward, the stop in aft. There are 3 standard choices for the stop with the initial position in the middle for later adjustment if needed.\u003cimg title=\"Boomkicker Complete Kits\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn11.bigcommerce.com\/s-7hppvd\/product_images\/uploaded_images\/Tech_Info\/Boomkicker\/Boomkicker-Track-Fit-3.jpg\" alt=\"Boomkicker 2000 installation\" align=\"right\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If necessary more stop positions can be drilled using the inscribed line along the side of the track for the 3\/16\" diameter pin. With the Boomkicker in position and slid back against the stop pin, and with the track centered under the boom, mark one hole. Then center punch, drill and tap. Attach the track, recheck position, then drill and tap the remaining holes using the track as a guide. Use Locktite on threads. Hint: Once installed, to attach the Boomkicker, it's usually easier to slide the Boomkicker into the boom track first, then attach it to the mast fitting, rather then attaching to the mast first. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e6. Check Return Force:\u003c\/strong\u003e After installation, check return force by pushing down on the end of the boom. The amount of support desired is a personal preference. For reference, with the sail flaked, using about 10 to 12 lbs.(4.5 to 5.4 kgs) to pull the aft end of the boom down seems like a good balance between boom support versus tension required to pull on the vang. More support may be desired with a bimini or if crew use the boom for support with the sail down. Less support may be desired if the mainsail is not stored on the boom or the Boomkicker is used to just lift the boom in light air for sail shape. If less or more force is needed, optional spring rods are available either as exchange, or ordered on the web or by phone. The purpose of the Boomkicker is to support the boom so the boom topping lift can be eliminated along with the chafe, windage, hangups and adjustments. If needed in unique circumstances, such as motoring in waves with the mainsail down, the main halyard can be attached to the aft end of the boom and tightened for further support.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cscript type=\"text\/javascript\"\u003e\/\/ \u003c![CDATA[ var TabbedPanels1 = new Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels(\"TabbedPanels1\"); \/\/ ]]\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"Boomkicker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53656633016692,"sku":"BK2000","price":513.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/4004\/9524\/files\/BK1500-2__00459.1736954153.jpg?v=1762241704"}],"url":"https:\/\/velasailingsupply.com\/collections\/boomkicker-complete-kits.oembed","provider":"Vela Sailing Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
