[Rhodes22-list] IMF Gooseneck problem

[Graham Parker]

There we were, having a lovely autumnal sail on Lake Champlain when the black composite  box that slides at the bottom of the mast and connects to the boom, decided to pop out. It was interesting getting the sail back in the mast but we managed it without too much drama.
However, now I have to figure out why the black slider separated from the mast. 
Hopefully I do not have to drop the mast to get in there?
If there is a diagram of the bottom of the IMF system, that would be very helpful.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I presume it might be in the fabled archives but I am not sure how to access them!
Cheers
Graham
