If you have the thin metal Bennett tabs, just be careful extending them. I had them on a 32 Pachanga and they came loose at the swivel connection on the bottom and were hanging by the ram only as I was hitting some large waves. The more you entend them out, the more pressure is put on the swivel connection.

The way they are designed, the plastic pins that hold the rams to the mount and tab are sacraficial. The pins break so you don't break the ram or tab itself. I did replace my plastic pins on one of my boats with ss screws and never had any issues.
