[quote=DamonLinkous][quote=kboss]I have never changed removed/changed my trampoline before so I am unsure of exactly how to get into the tramp track. I am thinking that removing the inboard and outboard corner casting bolts should do. Any help with this task would be much appreciated.[/quote]
You'll need to remove the trampoline to install the slugs, they get inserted into the same openings the tramp uses and then slide to the locations needed. That means you'd need to remove the tramp from the "donor" boat, but it would be worth it to get all the parts.
Also, once you have installed the wings and riveted on the reinforcing plates you can't remove the trampoline without drilling out the plate that ends up covering the tramp slot at the rear starboard location.
On my 1981 when I had the plates added the dealer tapped the beam and used stainless screws on that plate so it would be possible to remove it if I need to replace the tramp. Don't really know if that is worth doing since rivets are pretty cheap and it's not really that hard to drill them out.
I should mention that I sailed and raced my 1981 without the anchor plates for many years before they started popping out, so if everything looks solid with just the slugs, you might be ok, just keep an eye on them.[/quote]
