[quote=car_guy]Thanks for all the help guys, I finally got some time to take boat apart to see what was going on. It looks as if the taper pin holes are quite worn but the bearing strap kit is intact. When brand new was there some “slop” between cross bar and socket. With cross bar inserted I can move free end an inch or two, this calculated to about an 1/8” of play at inner bearing strap.
I’m concerned even with new taper pins and bearings I will still have movement due to worn socket. As I don’t ever plan to collapse boat I still think I may try to glue/epoxy the beams into the sockets. Any product recommendations? Thanks
