fix it before you loose it

You need to remove the balast weights under the table to gain access to the bolts. Make sure that you are on the hard as water will quickly start coming in through the holes. You will also want to block up the keel so that it does not fall unexpectantly. You should go ahead and remove all of the bolts and inspect the pivot pin and bushings while you are at it. The shaft on mine was bent and the bushings were quite worn.
