[C38] Removing Compainway Hatch?

[Max Soto]

Nope........

There is no easier way. You will have to remove the wood trim on both sides
and then remove the turtle, which is also bolted to the deck. If you are
going to disassenble it, you might want to buy teflon tape from Catalina and
put it on the deck slides. This will result in a lot less wear!

Hope this helps,

Max
