[C320-list] Worn goose neck

[Chris White]

The gooseneck on my 1997 Catalina 320 creaks noisily.The reason for this is that the aluminium end fitting on the boom has worn, and now is quite loose.The stainless steel shaft is not worn.
I have greased it, although who wants grease near the sail.Has anybody had a similar problem with a solution to fix it.
Thank you
