4.Spread it over. Take the main boom frontend body and spread it over the boom front. It will take some force, but is easy to do.

6.Squeeze the clamp body. Squeeze the clamp body and work the bolt into the other side of the seam, making sure to go through the plastic O ring spacer. Now tighten the bolt.
5.Put the lever. Put the lever onto the clamp body as shown below with the MauiSails logo up. Put the longest bolt into the hole on the cleat side of the lever. When the bolt is halfway through, place the black plastic washer/spacer in the seam of the main body as shown below.
It takes a 5mm hex wrench to tighten the bolts. This is the same as a 2007 MauiSails batten tensioner wrench, which works perfectly. Fit the second bolt, and don’t forget the spacer on the other side. Tighten the second bolt. Be sure and center the fitting on the boom front and tighten it securely so it won’t move around.
Remember to line up the break in the shim with the break in the boom head.
