    Topping Lift

    Does anybody use a topping lift for their boom? I was thinking about a boom kicker, but it seems like a bit of overkill and pricey. If anyone is using this set up any advice/pointers would be great. Pictures are also always a good thing:D. Thanks in advance for the help.

    Outboard suggestions
