Howdy all,

I'm beginning to have a problem with the fiberglass gunwales on my 1986 Outrage 20 . The plywood backing in the gunwales is starting to rot out much in the same way the plywood backing in a gas tank lid does. It's not too bad...yet, but I have little doubt it's something I'll have to address sometime in the not too distant future.
I suspect it would be a pretty cut and dry process of replacing the plywood once the gunwales are removed from the hull...and that's the big question.

Can anyone tell me just what's involved in removing the gunwales?
