Hello,

I noticed a wobble in my port side spreader today. My rigger said it may be that some of the pins have elongated their holes. Another thread mentioned a piece of rubber hose that may have failed. Has anyone else run into this issue? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Thetone

You have a rigger? Isn't that what they do?

That seems pretty loose to me. What is the other side like?
Assuming that the shroud is at normal tension I think the spreader should be taken off and at least inspected. I would think the mast needs to come down.

The other side is not wobbling. I wish I could find a diagram or photo of the spreader components
