Quote from: Sailing_Sona_Linn on Yesterday at 04:19:08 PMDoes anyone have any experience removing the horizontal cross bar on their Pushpit? I would like it out of the way to improve egress. I can definitely cut it out and grind it flush. I am curious if that might create some unanticipated structural weakness.

My plan is to replace the solid tube with a hinged tube, w/ a spring-loaded pin on one end for easy disengagement to flip it open -- either vertically or horizontally (kept from flopping w/ a bungee.) Or for safety sake, use something more secure on that end so that it cannot open accidentally, like a bolt or a clevis pin secured with a hitch pin. There's other ways the bar can be made removable (and not be hinged,) so it depends on how often it needs to be removed.
