Thanks so much Frank. I'll give 'em a ring. I'm obviously a complete
novice
regarding all things Frers :-) and am most grateful to all.

Thanks once again for the help.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately the tip was chewed up. I have a new
replacement part cost of $400 from a local rigger.
Having never bought a spreader I don't know if that's
market competitive or if the vendor is critical.<br>
<br>
What vendors would you patronize for this item and
what would you look for to determine if this fix is
all it should be ? Is there any warranty or guaranty
that should be sought or any vendor to avoid ?<br>
<br>
Any caveats regarding the installation ?<br>

<div>Depends. The spreader has mostly a
compression load on it from the mast and
the attachments at the deck. I don't

You can get aluminum welded. I actually
had the same thing with my first boat only
they hit the base of the mast and took a
big slice out of it with the lawnmower
blade. I had it welded and you couldn't
even see where the weld or the gash
was. It was fine for the life of that
boat.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If it's just a slice out of the
spreader you can get that fixed. If the
tip of the spreader has been destroyed
then you're going to need a new spreader.
I wouldn't change the size of the
spreaders (ones chewed up at the end so
just make a new end only shorter and then
match the other side). I think that would
change the load patterns and could be
dangerous.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'd find a place that can do aluminum
welding and then take it in to them and
