Spinnaker Pole Repair

One end of our spinnaker pole was damaged - bent pin and body cracked and badly corroded so pin was jammed solidly.
I cut out the bad aluminum with a zip disk.

I  fit a 1" square bar of aluminum to be TIG welded in place



TIG welded the aluminum bar in place.

I drilled a pilot hole through the block to accept the pin


A little paint and she's as good as new.
