Baller Kwoody51 Posted July 17, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 17, 2020 My BOA cable broke/ came loose. I tried to stuff it back in the guide and run the tensioner but it only tightens on the side still inserted. Can it be fixed?! Couldn’t figure out why my back foot kept feeling like it was about to come out! @brooks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Dacon62 Posted July 17, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 17, 2020 @herkyjerky help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BraceMaker Posted July 17, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 17, 2020 You need a small torx bit to remove the reel - then the cable needs to be replaced - you may be able to trim a bit to shorten it - or you may need new cable. Radar should be able to help you can technically use other string but you don't want it to eat the housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller WoodySkier Posted July 17, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 17, 2020 If you use a very small Allen wrench right in the middle, you can pop the cap off and may be able to thread it back in. I just did this with a boa glove yesterday. You can also get a new BOA assembly from BOA for free at https://www.boafit.com/en-us/support/warranty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Kwoody51 Posted July 17, 2020 Author Baller Share Posted July 17, 2020 Figured some ballers knew how to do this! On vacation and was just hitting a sunset ski on some glass when this happened. Will see what tools I have with and if I can pull the BOA apart and fix tomorrow. I skied it as is as the water was just too good! Made me focus on my form a little more :) @WoodySkier and @BraceMaker Thanks for those links! The BOA warranty site is awesome, few clicks and have parts headed my way.

Baller Ski2000 Posted July 17, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 17, 2020 T6 driver will get the boa Open and you can temporarily fix the cable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Windsurfnut Posted July 17, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 17, 2020 Any boa product is lifetime warranty. Go to the boa website and fill in the questionnaire and they’ll send you parts no charge. Great service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller pregom Posted July 17, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 17, 2020 The BOA site has some pretty good instructions on how to fix all their systems: https://www.boafit.com/en-gb/support/repair-guides In your case take a look at this: https://www.boafit.com/en/support/repair-guides/L4-L5-repair-guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Kwoody51 Posted July 17, 2020 Author Baller Share Posted July 17, 2020 No T6 driver with me... so seems I’ll have to make due on last day of vacation. Kids all want to ski and tube so likely won’t make it out anyway... Yes we have to have a tube for the kids :wink: Thanks everyone for your help!
