Marinco locking ring broke

[odaydokay]

You were 100% correct, Terry. Went down this morning and worked it on from the female and as you stated. A bit of force required to work it slowly around like mounting a tire on a rim. The collar gives just a bit. Came out fine. Thanks for the help and sorry to bother everyone for something so simple, but the West Marine guy "aided and abetted" also by telling me it obviously would not go on that way....hard to find good help these days.

Good question and thanks for sharing your successful solution.

Way to go.. again @Terry Cox . You Rock....

Came out fine.

Glad that worked out for you. Seems like a counterintuitive solution, but it works. As I recall I had to do the same thing; like installing a tire on a rim, you just work it around.

You Rock....

Thanks John. Very kind words.

I was gonna suggest a 100 ton press next, but you seem to have solved the problem.
Well done you!

I remember leaving it out in the sun to make the yellow plastic pliable. Then a lot of cussin when it came to squeezing it on.

Yes, I admit to a small cuss word or two, but then it gave in. Should be good for another 23 years at which point it will be someone else's problem. Thanks again to all who weighed in....
