Does anyone know how to remove a deck organizer? It is apparenly mounted with 5200 on phillips bolts. I tried a large phillips with no success. I need to replace the sheaves for the genoa and reefing lines. Any suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks
Ray E.

You might try some heavy fishing line, 80-100lb.test, wear some gloves and try to cut the 5200 with it by pulling it back and forth and work right up to the bolts. You might have to put a phillips bit in a ratchet or breaker bar to bust them loose. They are probably nutted underneath too. This is how you remove a medalion from the fender of a harley.

Catalina glassed an aluminum plate into the deck, drilled and tapped it, and bolted the deck organizer to the deck using stainless steel bolts. What you have is a little galvanic corrosion essentially welding the bolts to the aluminum plate. The bolts WILL come undone, but you need a #3 phillips screwdriver and a pair of vice grips to un-do the bolts. The Garhauer organizer is not 5200 glued to the deck, but it is well glued, and the suggestion to use heavy fish line is appropriate (I got mine off with a hammer and a flat bladed screwdriver).
