[QUOTE="mgros483, post: 359092, member: 14360"] Yes, you have to drill out the rivets in the support, then you have to pound the supports evenly toward the outer sides of the splashwell a few inches, then pound the front end of the support [u]toward[/u] the centerline of the boat. It seems like it would be easier to just drill them out then pound the fronts outward, but it doesn't work that way. The supports must not quite be symmetrical or something. This is really hard to explain in text, I wish you could see my hand movements, haha. The end caps did not have to come out on mine, at least, just the screw going down into the inner transom board. Getting it back in was a little tricky, but some work with a pry bar and a mallet got it in eventually and smashed my fingers numerous times in the process. [/QUOTE]
