Matt/Guys:

Wing cap fell off in wing hole. Any suggestions on how to get it out of there other than turning the boat upside don. That would a MAJOR PITA!!!!

As posted elsewhere... possibly a shop vacuum with a long attachment. If it is dry enough, a wad/ball of duct tape on a stick with the sticky out of course.

Matt:

I got a flash light and locked in the hole today. I tow with the wings strapped to the tramp. Must have fell out on the road somewhere. Think I am just going to drill out all the rivets and put on new ones. Want to protect the holes as the boat doesn't leak there.
