Also,when you use butyl, countersink?the screw holes and put butyl around the screws and under the? head.? Per RC's guide.

I removed the wall batten behind the stove to gain access to the rub strake. It can be done. The panels will fit very tightly against the bulkheads and are a pain to pull out because they do not flex very much. The panels are just that panels, not individual pieces. The individual boards are connected with a layer (or 2?) of mat and polyester resin. This makes them very stiff. Before reinstalling the panel, I trimmed a little off each end and will hide the edges with the trim.?

Thanks Matt,

I would always use butyl tape for this application. The challenge is as you mention; getting the right combination of u-joints/bent wrenches on the bolts through the small "crack". I expect from prior experience on last boat that getting the nuts off is much easier than on. This is definitely a two person job, and will be frustrating in the dropping NE Ohio temperatures.

Has anyone removed the wall batten paneling to widen the access?
