Need new O'Day 31 Gooseneck

[Ian]

The cast Aluminum gooseneck on my 31' O'Day has cracked. I tried getting a new one from Bay Sailing equipment in MA, but was told that it is not made anymore and that I need to upgrade to a new style for several hundred dollars. Does anyone know a place that might still have some of the old style goosenecks in stock? Please let me know ASAP as sailing season is almost here!PS Is it possible to repair the cracked gooseneck?

Gooseneck

First, it is sometimes possible to repair aluminum but the repair will be confined to the current break - the rest of the piece, weakened by time and use, will still be old and weak.Did you try Rudy Nickerson yet?Hit the link . . .Justin - O'day Owners' Web
