>I think what he was refering to is the stainless steel tabs that mount to the outboard end of the crossbars. Basically about a 2" x 3/4" tab that mounts to the crossbar bolt and sticks almost straight up. They're fine when the wings are mounted to the boat, but if you sail with out the wings and leave the tabs attached, there's basically four little spears sticking out to impale youself with.


Ohhhhh Thats completely different..... "nevermind"
(said in my best Gilda Radner voice)

Ok, taking the tabs off is the only way to go, and thats easy, a 9/16 wrench for the bottom and a 9/16 socket for the top, remove the tab from the bolt, and then reassemble and tighten with some good german torque, yanno, "gutentight" if you hear fiberglass crunching, you are overtightening it.
