Trimming Bow Rails...

As long as your bow rails are not the welded type it shouldn't be a problem. I've never done it on a V, but I've done it on several other boats without a hitch. Remove stock equally from the bottom......Oh, by the way, rather than using a hacksaw, use a pipe cutter. Works really well and gives a nice even cut . Just remember, measure twice (or more) cut once.
