The "ring" should be tight on the lower boom. On older boats the goseneck was threded for a bolt to screw in and tighten it. On newer boats the goseneck is not threded and a small bolt and locknut is used.

The gooseneck is threaded (it's on a Minifish, unsure of the age). Any idea of the size and thread of the bolt? Is there any chance of finding it, or should I just get a smaller bolt and use a locknut?
