Reply to: Switching to 8:1; boom attachment??

[quote=Dogboy][quote=klozhald]You will have no issue just using the aft bale on your boom. It and your boom are plenty strong.[/quote] The H21 uses the same boom extrusion and boom bales as the H18. I have cracked a boom bale on my H18 in the past, which is why I would recommend moving the forward bale back and doubling up the aft bale if only using a single attachment point. It is a simple matter of drilling out and re-installing four rivets - cheap insurance. As an alternative, you can take a piece of high strength line and loop it around the boom and through the shackle for the top block to act as a safety line in case the bale breaks. I have done that as well. Better than having the thing let go at a bad time. sm<!-- editby --><em>Edited by Dogboy on Aug 21, 2020 - 07:27 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
