I always thought the tubes were structural. You know hold the cabin roof up?

What will yo do with the metal tube? If you remove the tube you will be left with a hole in the ceiling and a hole in the counter. If you leave the tube you will have exposed holes in the tube where screws were used to anchor the shelf. These holes in the tube will need dressed or decorated. What about the wood on the remaining cabinets? It is likely that a silhouette of the removed shelf will remain. You'll also have screw holes in the wood which will need attention. None of these asthetic details are show stoppers just things you may not have considered. Good luck.

It is the one with the metal post running through one end and attached to the cabinetry at the other. My thinking is as follows: 1. It completely obscures the counter underneath and makes it more or less impossible to use the plate tray behind that counter under the shelf. 2. It is sometimes useful to put things on with the ability to slide a chopping board (and only a chopping board) underneath it. 3. I notice that later models of this design eg. 1991, do not have the shelf. I suspect there is a good reason for this. Has anyone removed this shelf on their boat? If so how do you do it? Did you regret it afterwards or did it turn out to be a good thing? Any input much appreciated.
