I wish I could remember, but somebody here did that...LOOKED GREAT!...The center section of the only rail I have is cut away, so I am considering doing the same shortening you are...I've cut two of these rails to date and used a pipe-cutter on each...have extra blades on hand if using one of the smaller, hardware store versions...I went thru about 3 blades on each bow rail...
On removing the rail, pre soak (for days) hex-nuts from underneath, unless you know yours are corrosion free, assume they are not...then clamp on a pair of vice-grips from underneath if yer doing alone...if the screw backs out from up top, you did good...if not, drill that puppy and move on...
