[quote=Edchris177]I removed the beams to check for corrosion,(and to make comounding/polishing easier) things look OK.
Can anyone shed light on this sticker, re, "new style beams".
Is the difference just black anodized vs the older "clear" beams?

This is the only crack I can find on the shroud anchors & front beam attach.
I've found 4 of the improved anchor plates to reinforce the front beam, & will add the internal glass tab in the spring.
From the anchor pin threads being the same diameter as the pin, and the pin being non magnetic, I'm pretty sure they are old style. When viewing under loupe, I see no sign of any cracks, but if $70 prevents a dismasting, I think I'll replace them.
