  CIMG0246.JPG - When I moved the antenna down to the site I found that the boom truss mast had rotated. Fluid Motion doesn't provide any torque values for tightening the nuts and bolts, I must have left them too loose.  After rotating the boom mast back to its proper orientation I re-tighened the u-bolts.  Unfortunately, the nuts were at the end of the threads.  I ended up replacing both u-bolts. I also drilled a hole below the u-bolts through the boom mast and mast to boom plate and inserted a nut and bolt, just to be safe.
