[C320-list] outhaul lost in boom

[John Meyers]

I am VERY new to the 320 but solving problems are my nature.

My suggestion is to push through a snake, the kind used in construction for
pulling wires through walls, push it all the way through from the aft end of
the boom. Connect the mast side of the line to the snake and pull back. Be
sure not to pull the mast side of the line completely back into the boom so
tie a string to pull it back if you need to.
