I took my seahood and slides off of my boat today. I am sure they have been removed and reinstalled by previous owners, so this might be unique to my boat. I found 6 screws, 3 each side, that were not through the seahood, just the slides. I could only access these screws after removing all the other screws and seperating the seahood from the slides. That was no small task, they appeared to be attached with 3M 5200. It took me 2 hours to separate them by hammering a small putty knife between them.

BTW when I reinstall my hood and slides I am going to through bolt everything. I strogly believe that nothing should ever be simply screwed into a cored deck.

As it turns out those 6 extra scews were the source of a great deal of water in the deck.

I have pretty bad deck problems, and I am fixing them, but that will be another thread.

Anyway, after taking everything apart I realized that the slides have to be the same 3/4 inch in height as the originals because of the seahood. Just thought I would mention it because I had said I would make the new ones 7/8".}
