This came up a few weeks ago. There are some pictures in the thread. I'll relink my pictures below. The PO did mine. He dropped the rudder and cut a 6" section out of the tube. He then reinforced the tube sections. The nice thing about this setup is that it keeps the port locker unobstructed since he put the unit under the stbd propane locker. It also keeps the entire unit out of the weather.
