Now that I have a nice set of Garhauer EZ Glide genoa cars, I can't get them on the tracks because the end of the genoa track runs too close to the coaming. Removing the track would be a nightmare, so the only other solution is to remove the Navtec U-bolt shroud attachment that blocks the forward end of the track and that ties the aft shroud to the Triaxial Force Grid. Obviously this is winter project, and it seems fairly straightforward (the u-bolt is bolted through the deck, through an aluminum block which is pulled downward by a tie rod with a mushroom head at the top end and which is threaded into a large aluminum cylindrical block embedded in the TFG at the lower end). However, this is going involve removing the interior teak cover plate and accessing bolts inside the vinyl liner.
Has anyone ever done this in order to rebed the u-bolts, for example?
