I started out with a lower air pressure but ended up jacking it up to 120 psi to get enough volume to get the unit to free it's self. Wedged the bottom flange all the way around to put some pressure on the post then worked it with a white rubber mallet. After purging the air on and off and adding tension to the flange wedges I let the compressor pressure build back up and purged it again then pop! It slid out about an inch and then I was able to slide it right out. It came out easier than I thought it would but not a easy task. It never would of budged with out the air chuck. The mold came out looking good. It has a few little air bubble voids that needs a little filler but overall in good shape. I will slide it back on then add a good bit more glass and some bracing. Once I get it stiffened up I will work on getting the inside flaw free.Name:  20131230_233623.jpg

Thanks for all the kind comments. Today I used some scrap foam, wood and more glass to add some more strength to it. I slid it back on the original then I hit all the outer corners with 3 more layers of csm and resin. I added foam fillets in the radius inner corners then glasses them in to strengthen all the angles. I beefed up the flange quite a bit. I used some woven rover to build up some more thickness and to add to the strength the mold. I cut strips of marine ply and ran them across the larger areas and around the post and glassed them down. Hopefully it will be strong enough to keep it from flexing when I start using it to make new units.

You can remove the post and get to all of the plumbing and to the tank with out moving it or unhooking any hoses. Plus it gives the user more options far as size and capacity.
10/4 yea I already have tanks for the bait well... little over kill but will work great
