Been there and done that. Will never go back to a stainless slide in an
aluminum boom.

A lot of boats have gotten rid of the slides and use a long Velcro strap that
they wrap around the boom and the clew. The strap slides as well as the metal
slide.

Not sure what boat you are talking about, but I got disgusted with mine
probably 15 years ago, and scrapped the whole boom;
It had a SS slide in the aluminum which galled and was just really poorly
designed compared to today’s products.
I got an extrusion and end fittings from Charleston Spars, put a 2 foot
Harken Ball bearing outhaul track on the end, a six part block outhaul inside
the boom, and love it compared to having to run up on the deck and crank a
little winch on the boom.
Also gave me an opportunity to add a foot to the short boom.
