[C320-list] Cabin table

[crashley at gte.net]

I think the table is initially glued to the top of the post. Mine lifted off 
but a bunch of flakes kind of fell out. It does really NEED to be glued 
since gravity keeps it in place pretty well (even when heeling) and it has a 
splined shaft and fitting so the table stays in place even without the glue. 
I would try working the table off possibly. Once it comes off it is very 
easy to remove and compress the centerpost to gain access to the batteries 
and such.
