I was sailing today in 15kt wind and my starboard brace popped off and the ama started folding in. Luckily I was able to turn into the wind and secure it again. I tested it when I got ashore and found out it was very easy to pop off with about 10lbs of vertical pull. My port brace is very solid and I can't pop it off unless I push on the cap. Is there an adjustment or do I need to get another brace?
Try cleaning and then lube the spring mechanism. If the end isn’t full returning to it’s fixed position, it will leave a gap and won’t be secure. If that’s not it, check the ball for damage/wear. If you can’t find anything wrong with it then replace the end cap and/or the ball.
