Posts: 12,310 South Carolina | I need to remove the tramp from my Nacra 5.2. Its a one piece tramp. There must be some trick to it but I don't know it. Tried a search to no avail. Little help here?
Thanks, Clayton It's reconnecting that main beam to the hull that's so much fun! Clayton got it right though...and if you still have the center bar, aka "knee knocker", it should slide off the castings without drilling out rivets but if it's stuck, you may have to drill out one of the rivets holding the casting to one of the beams.

Posts: 606 Maryland | Nacra 5.2 & 5.5 Manual This should help. You should not have to dismantle the striker. This version does not have the knee knocker but as Jake said, it should release when the beam is pulled off the hull.

Posts: 12,310 South Carolina | I remember there are little stainless 'tangs' on the main beam that bump into the hull there - they are only there to establish the initial hull position when reassembling...they're not actually attached to the hull.
BE SURE you have the boat out in the sun on a warm sunny day when trying to reinstall...it's hard to get the hulls back in position with a new trampoline. I tried putting my trampoline in the drier to loosen it up some but I could never keep it warm by the time I got it to the boat...had to wait for sunny day.
