I want to paint the deck this summer and wand to remove all the hardware and reseal everything. Also I think the track is bent or twisted because the tackel on the rail does not slide in spots and needs to be hit with a rubber mallet to move.

Martin, One more question. I'm not sure what you mean by tabbing. Would I access the nut from the side of the toe rail? Would I grind out the fiberglass on the side of the toe rail, then hold the nut while I tighten the bolt, and then repatch the toe rail? Paul

Martin, Thank you. It's bad news but thank you anyway. At least there should be no leaking into the Hull. or is my thinking wrong? Paul

Hi, It's an metal type runner on the toe rail. There is nothing under that area, that I can see. If there are set nuts to screw into that would be great, but I'm afraid to loosen the screws because if the nuts are not set once I loosen them I won't be able to tighten them again and I don't...

Tim, I reread your e-mail and now understand that you thought the nuts were captive so I will not need to do any drilling. Thanks again for the quick reply. Paul

Tim, It's a 1973 Ericson 32-2. There are no visable nuts holding the overhead handrails. If there are nuts, there under the fiberglass and I have to drill through my overhead. Thankyou for the reply. Paul

I will need to remove the Genoa Track on my Ericson32. I can't find any nuts connecting the screws. Are the screwed directly into the deck/hull? I also need to remove the wooden handholds on the left and right side of the mast.
