[quote=tominpa]I did this replacement many years ago to replace a bent rod. Needless to say, the DS is not something to pull on when loading the boat to a trailer or onto a beach. I think even back then the assembly was over $175, and we're talking around 1990. Once you have replace one, you will never damage another. I used a piece of 6-foot 1x2 furring and simply attached the tube with a rubber-band. I needed a second person to guide the tube into place, and used a screwdriver to line it up, then inserted the DS from the bottom. That was when I lost my front beam end-caps...don't lose those either.[/quote]
