Wow, both super helpful. Glad to learn about the sea hood (and I updated my signature info.) bigd14, when you say fastener/wood screws, are you referring to the screws around the sea hood? They go into, but should not penetrate through, the cabin top?
Also, can you tell me how to do these inspections without destroying that awesome headliner? The zippers are pretty far forward and aft of the area in question. Likewise, how to loosen that batten—its screws are so nicely pegged. Sorry to be such a baby, I’ll do glass and epoxy but I hate tearing up finish work
