Hiya!
Has anyone tried to repair a collapsed pylone base? Looks like i have been pushing the old lady a bit too far And the fiberglass at the base of the starboard forward pylon is partially crushed. Welcome links to repair videos;advice from those who attempted a fix before changing the hull! Thanks!

If you need to repair the pylon shoe, Rick Buchanan wrote a good illustrated procedure in Hotline vol. 38 issue no. 5 (Sept/Oct 2009) on pages 14-15: This Old Hobie: Pylon Shoe Repairs

If your pylon has come loose inside your hull, these photos might help give you an idea of how it was initially installed.

I've seen more of them damaged by improper tying down on a trailer, than anything else.
