| Cockpit Yoga to remove screws |
Even though there are lots of bits and pieces attached to a
hull, the majority are in the cockpit.
If you remove these things, it gives you a chance to re-bed them
correctly during while reinstalling them.
It also allows the new coatings to seal the area underneath and not
cause a ridge from taping the fitting.
Just about everything in the cockpit was removed. Winches, clutches, blocks, screws, hinges,
everything.

The best thing about removing everything is that it allows
you to sand and buff the areas easier.
The biggest pain was the steering wheel which I will cover
in a future post.
After stripping the cockpit of everything, it had to be sanded to remove the years of dirt, spills, teak oil, and grease that had accumulated over the years.
