7.3 Gooseneck assembly replacement

[mischief_nyc]

Hi all,
The gooseneck assembly on my 1978 7.3 has cracked (see picture). Does anyone have any sources for a replacement part or an extra they’d be willing to sell? Thanks.

You could try Rig-Rite and see if they can help. They will need to know the maker of the spar.

Tried rig-rite and they said they don’t carry pre 1980 spar parts for S2 :/

You might want to explore Rig Rite a little more, the mast and boom on your boat is probably the same as those built after 1980. I have a 1979 7.3 and I have all the documents that came with the boat and I dont see anything in them about who made the spars. I will look at the boom and mast tomorrow to see if there is anything that indicates the manufacturer. The thread with a PDF of all the documents is linked below.

ISO - S2 7.3 Owners Manual

I've scoured the forums and elsewhere, googled until my fingertips bled, but I cannot seem to find an owners manual for an S2 7.3 (Aside from postings to the now defunct yahoo groups.) If anyone has a PDF, I would be in your debt. Thanks, Marc

I checked today and there is nothing on my mast or boom indicating the manufacturer.

According to that "S2 History & Referral Information" letter I've found online, it looks like the S2 spars were made by a few different places:

Hall Spars
Isomat
Offshore Spars
