The starboard rear mount point for wings has a long 1/2" diameter stainless steel slug that fits into the rear crossbar. It's longer than the other three mount point slugs and I can't figure out how to remove it. Any great ideas? Thanks! Mark |

I'm pretty sure you have to drill out the rivets on the corner casting and remove the casting to get that slug out. My 18 is a standard (non-magnum) and it has this slug - presumably installed by the factory in the event that the boat would ever have magnum wings installed. I think this slug is longer so that it can bridge the opening for the tramp. sm |

Thanks, I hope that's not the case! My other option (so far) is to lengthen the opening area just enough to get it out. |

Removing the corner casting is no biggie. Just drill out three rivets and pop it off. I'd certainly do that before grinding the opening larger. sm |

Why do you want it out? |

I'm selling the wings and need to give the hardware to the buyer. |

Like I said, I think this is something that may have ended up being installed in all the crossbars by the factory, so it's possible that it's already there. I know it's on my '85 boat and that has never had magnum wings. Keep in mind that it may be hidden behind the hull saddle. It would certainly be worth a look. sm |

That's an excellent idea! I'll ask the buyer to see if it's already on his boat. Thanks! |

Ok, the buyer's boat didn't have the long slug so I just bit the bullet and removed the casting. It wasn't too big of a deal after all. Thanks Everyone for the help! Mark |
