Loren: Thanks for the note - interesting to see the difference. I will take a close look at mine, but I am sure they are not epoxied on - I believe they are screwed on the actual thru-hull piece.

If it's the one without anything attached to it and appears to do nothing but blast your toes - I have an answer. I sent the same qustion to Bruce King and he responded by saying that it is important and don't remove it. something about holding the deck down or something - I don't recall...
